A Lovely Masquerade
Nate Groshan
Book Overview:
Sandrone Pavironica, better known as the Spice King, was the second wealthiest man in the exceedingly wealthy City of Masks, until the day his greatest triumph turned into his most devastating tragedy. As his estate crumbles around him and the weight of illusion becomes too much to bear, Sandrone is forced to question the existence of dark nights alongside sunny days, and what has been gained from a life of chasing after pleasure and gold. However, in a city where the inhabitants hide their true selves behind perfectly painted porcelain masks, where can he turn to find the answers he seeks?
A private feud reveals a silent war being waged against the city’s unwitting residents, and with help from some unlikely friends, Sandrone comes to see the truth behind the idyllic façades cast in the lovely City of Masks:
