Masquerade

HER RISE TO POWER, PAID IN BLOOD Od�d�'s home city of Timbuktu has been conquered by the warrior king of Yor�b�land. Under their new oppressive ruler, conditions for Od�d� and the other women in her ostracised blacksmith guild grow even worse. Then Od�d� is abducted and whisked across the Sahara to the capital city of ?�ng�t?`, where she is shocked to discover that her kidnapper - the apparent vagrant who had visited her guild just days prior - is none other than the warrior king himself, and he has chosen her to be his wife. Od�d� soars to the very heights of society, and into a world of battle and politics. As tensions with rival states grow, revealing elaborate schemes and hidden enemies, Od�d� must defy the cruel king she has been forced to wed and reforge the shaky loyalties of the court in her favor, or risk losing everything-including her life. Loosely based on the myth of Persephone, O.O. Sangoyomi's Masquerade takes you on a journey of epic power struggles and political intrigue which turn an entire region on its head.
