Kandide The Masks of Deception Diana S Zimmerman

Some masks of deception are for good. Some are for evil. In this stunning new adventure in the Kandide series, nothing is as it seems. Turmoil casts its relentless destruction across the land. Riots ignite every village. An ever-increasing number of Kandide's subjects demand that the Fée teen-queen be removed from the throne. As autumn approaches, everything begins to change-for the worse. Dark forces re-emerge, further shredding the beauty and stability of each of the four kingdoms in Calabiyau. Villages mysteriously erupt in flames, leaving only the burning embers of once prosperous towns. An ancient portal catapults her brother, Prince Teren, and the intern-priestess, Adriana, into an otherworldly dimension. Certain death awaits unless they can solve the mystery of how to return. Kandide's military defenses, already outnumbered three-to-one by a renegade Banshee army, must be divided in half to defend her Castle as well as the Imperfects who live in the Château. But before she can save either kingdom, Kandide must first save herself and escape the evil clutches of Lady Aron's vile sorcery. For Kandide, creating a mask of deception means survival. For Lady Aron, it means the throne. In a deadly game of wits and magic, only one can prevail.
