This paperback edition includes an unpublished, previously-cut scene from MASQUERADE, with author commentary!

Masquerade is an "immersive, one-of-a-kind story" (People Magazine) set in a reimagined 15th century West Africa that explores the true cost of one woman's fight for freedom and self-discovery, and the lengths she'll go to secure her future.

?d?d?'s hometown of Timbuktu has been conquered by the warrior king of Yor?b?land, and living conditions for the women in her blacksmith guild, who were already shunned as social pariahs, grow even worse.

Then ?d?d? is abducted. She is whisked across the Sahara to the capital city of Ṣ?ng?tẹ̀, where she is shocked to discover that her kidnapper is none other than the vagrant who had visited her guild just days prior. But now that he is swathed in riches rather than rags, ?d?d? realizes he is not a vagrant at all; he is the warrior king, and he has chosen her to be his wife.

In a sudden change of fortune, ?d?d? soars to the very heights of society. But after a lifetime of subjugation, she finds the power that saturates this world of battle and political savvy too enticing to resist. As tensions with rival states grow, revealing elaborate schemes and enemies hidden in plain sight, ?d?d? must defy the cruel king she has been forced to wed by reforging 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.
