City of Masks

City of Masks
Mary Hoffman

The first gripping book in the series, taking the reader into two vivid worlds - one our own, one parallel to ours and very similar to 16th-century Italy. Passion, intrigue, drama and adventure - enter the world of Stravaganza.

“I hardly think a girl is much of a threat. I presume you searched her for weapons? But if she attempts to suffocate me with her straw mattress, I promise to call out for help.”

Mary Hoffman book City of Masks
