When Haydan’s home world is invaded by a soul demon seeking an item shrouded in myth and legend, his father evicts him and sends him to safety. His chosen one and warrior should provide reassurance and sanctuary, but neither appears to be working very well. Just when he thinks matters cannot get any worse his scheming grandmother arrives. She has her own plans that appear to involve him, none of which bodes well.
Diego feels confident he has the soul demon under control. Overlooking his devious mother’s involvement, he fails to appreciate that he is not only storm rider elder, but also an elven prince and certain debts are about to become due.
Lavinia worries about her grandson, but also who she left behind in the elven realm a long time ago. Tallin thinks she abandoned him and he is livid. She has everything under control, including Tallin…at least that is what she thinks.
They all need to learn afresh who to trust. With a soul demon on the rampage, an unleashed, angry and betrayed elven king and a long-forgotten mask surfacing, what could possibly go wrong?
The past is about to catch up with all of them. Nothing is going to go as planned because the mask and the gods have other ideas.
Mask of the Gods is the first book in the Mask Chronicles from debut author Karen Furk. Enter a world that’s richly layered and full of intrigue. If you enjoy reading stories full of creative world building, magical creatures, portals, ancient artefacts and fantasy races combined with plenty of excitement and adventure then you will love the start of this series of books.
Review Quotes:
“The quality of the writing is incredible. The layers of the story are impressive. I did like the relationship between Isaac and Haydan. I’ve read a lot of fantasy fiction, but this book has a fascinating depth and quality to it. If you love fantasy stories you won’t be disappointed with this one.”
Alexis Eastham – Avid fantasy reader
“I love fantasy fiction, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get my hands on an advance reader copy of this book. It’s a refreshing take on fantasy with none of the tired tropes that sneak into some of these types of books. There are some amazing characters introduced. I love Diego, storm rider elder and prince of Aveyamara. Karen introduces some amazing new ideas (whirling dervishes anyone?) whilst tweaking some of the more traditional takes on fantasy races like elves, fae and gods. You will laugh, you will cry but most of all you will enjoy something fresh and unique that hasn’t been done before.”
