Description

The past is never truly buried. Not even on another world.

The planet Thomàon was meant to be a paradise—a dazzling jewel of civilization among the stars. For centuries, its people have lived in decadence in the Silver City, where the elite gather to celebrate each Season in masked splendor. But beneath the city's glittering façade, secrets fester. The immortality-granting elixir that sustains the ruling class is running out. The powers behind the masks are faltering. And the ghosts of old Earth are beginning to stir.

When Warden Marks Lemure returns to the city carrying a final, desperate cargo, he unknowingly sets in motion a chain of betrayals that will unravel Thomàon's fragile peace. His daughter, Ammaline, a gifted singer invited to perform at the legendary Opéra du Mendicant, is thrust into a dangerous world of intrigue, where every mask hides an agenda, and every whispered promise conceals a knife. As revolution looms and the foundations of power begin to shake, old alliances will be tested, new enemies will rise, and the fate of an entire world may rest on those willing to unmask the truth—before it's too late.

For fans of gothic space opera, dystopian intrigue, and high-stakes court drama, House of Masks is a mesmerizing tale of power, deception, and the haunted legacy of a world on the brink.
