Death or Volentus: Macabre Masquerade (Hardcover)

Book 2 of the acclaimed Death or Volentus series Set several weeks after Volentus laid claim to the Land of Wilted Roses, uneasy alliances and bitter rivalries threaten to plunge the Realm into chaos. When a Sovereigns' Summit is called in the hopes of drafting a path to peace for all kingdoms, a deadly game of deception, intrigue, and political gambits ensues. In the guise of a gaudy masquerade ball, each faction maneuvers to push their agenda, while also avoiding the cloak-and-dagger traps of their adversaries. However, as Volentus himself comes to discover, a greater peril hides in plain sight - something that could doom the Realm before he, Dragan, or Alicent have a chance to save it.
