A Masquerade of Souls

By: Venus, Raye F.

"We all hide behind masks. Some of us just have more visible masks than others."

In Inonvouslee, having unexplained abilities is a crime, and those found guilty disappear. However, that doesn't stop Maybel Braille and twins Gemma and Garrett Albarn from doing what they can to survive. Working together with Gemma's superior intelligence, Garrett's incredible strength, and Maybel's ability to see souls, they have become the Night Marauders, the greatest thieves of their time, and for years, nobody knew who they were.

When masked stranger Ricardo discovers their identities, he offers them a simple choice: Be exposed to the rest of the kingdom, or pull of an impossible heist. If they succeed, they will receive the riches necessary to start over with the life they always dreamed, but failure could lead to their own disappearance. To steal the Sacred Artifacts of Inonvouslee, Maybel must disguise herself as the long-lost Marionette de Cortez and infiltrate the manor of the richest and most powerful man in the country.

Yet what starts as a heist spirals into a conspiracy running deeper than they ever could have imagined. The line between truth and deception blurs, and ties are tested. Maybel, Gemma, and Garrett must decide how far they will go to protect each other - and whether some masks are worth removing.
