Neither was the abuse she faced from her adoptive parents. But one was just a dream and the other would resolve in two weeks upon her eighteenth birthday... or so she mistakenly presumed. Her life was a complex façade of lies that hid how deeply she's entangled with three powerhouses of dark magic. Had she been that ignorant of the masquerade before her? An ignorance that wasn't bliss. And an ignorance that meant her corpse would likely decorate an amusement attraction in a mere two weeks' time. Masqueraded is a suspenseful and dark psychological thriller that’s the first chapter of an emotionally charged dark fantasy series that features spirited seventeen-year-old Estela Sinclair. She is looking for answers to her difficult past, while discovering new depths of deviant magic that fuels three maniacal entertainment powerhouses–the haunting Cirque Arcana, zany carnival The Midway, and the troublesome Parlour Lane Park. Join Estela, as she explores a hidden magical world of teleportation, scrying, and telekinesis.
