Astra Publishing House Faces 3 Masks of Aygrima
Book SynopsisFinal novel in EC Blake's dystopian fantasy trilogy, The Masks of AygrimaThe Masks of Aygrima is set in a land where people are forced to wear spell-imbued Masks that reveal any traitorous thoughts they have about their ruler, the Autarch. Mara Holdfast is a young woman gifted with the ability to see and use all the colors of magic. Two other people share this talent: the Autarch, who draws upon the very life-force of his subjects to fuel his existence and retain his control over the kingdom; and the legendary Lady of Pain and Fire, the only person who has ever truly challenged the Autarch’s despotic reign. After a devastating battle that takes a dreadful toll on both the rebel unMasked Army and the forces of Prince Chell, their ally from across the sea, Mara and her fellow survivors have no one to turn to for help but the Lady of Pain and Fire. As the Lady leads them to her haven beyond the mountain borders of the kingdTrade ReviewPraise for The Masks of Aygrima: “Mara’s personal growth is a delight to follow. Sharp characterization, a fast-moving plot, and a steady unveiling of a bigger picture make this a welcome addition to the genre.” —Publishers Weekly “Blake brings his fantastic world to life through offbeat links between magic, nature, and human behavior in a caste-ridden society.” —Locus “Fans of Masks will not be disappointed with Blake’s amazing sequel, Shadows. The magic continues in this enthralling adventure, grabbing reader’s interest and holding it until the final page. Each chapter brings a new twist in the already sensational story. Blake creates the perfect mix of adventure and romance as the main character, Mara Holdfast, struggles to come of age in a world that is quickly changing.” —RT Reviews“The tension and stakes were definitely ratcheted up much higher this time around.... I highly recommend this series for fantasy fans!” —Not Yet Read “Raw, powerful, emotional, and intense. Shadows is a book that captivated me from page one and had me literally on the edge of my seat.” —Candance’s Book Blog “The story has taken some pretty dark turns, and the emotional trauma transforms Mara into an uncontrollable element.... Shadows was a worthy sequel and promises to bring even more thrills and delights in the next installment.” —Bibliosanctum “[Shadows] was a fantastic story describing a power struggle between those without magic and those with it.... I am trembling in anticipation for the next book.” —Litpick “An excellent sequel.... Mara deepens as a character as we learn more about the struggles she faces in controlling her gift.... Fans of realistic heroines will love Mara.” —The Qwillery
