Who are we, really, underneath the masks we choose to wear?


Alex Kincaid is twenty-four years old. She leads a quiet life in a college town, works at Galen Industries, and spends most of her free time with her co-workers. Her friends, like Emma Bastian, who read too many romance novels, want to meddle in Alex’s love life. That’s what friends do, right?

Yet Alex is too preoccupied with the odd letter she’s received. It grants her a large inheritance from a total stranger who was the collector of various relics. Among his effects is a magical mask that will shatter her life forever. After an attempt to kill her fails, Alex is horrified to see the mask take the shape of her face within seconds after donning it. It’s endowed with the powers of an ancient deity, who is the protector of order and the kingdom of the sky.

Alex is now in danger from the god of chaos and the kingdom of the wicked. He has vowed to take revenge for killing his lost love. The mask fuses the personalities of its previous owners, and now Alex's identity is in danger of being lost forever. As Alex and her friends attempt to solve the mystery, the stakes keep rising. The god of chaos is hot on Alex’s trail, and he won’t stop. As they face the coming storm, Alex realizes her romantic feelings for handsome co-worker Gabriel Reyes, who is a guiding presence in all the bright places. Does he feel the same? Alex is torn between two kingdoms and must carefully thread the needle of destiny and fulfillment.

At its heart, The Secrets of the Kings is a story about who we really are. Author Nora Delzelle weaves a tale of ancient love and modern society into compelling fantasy. As the mystery is revealed, one thing soon becomes clear. No mask can hide the truth.

This book was previously published under the title Death Mask.

World After
Lindsey Pogue & Lindsey Sparks
FREE

A princess with a secret. An outlaw on a mission. A kingdom on the brink of collapse…

The Ending Series was just the beginning. Three centuries later, this is their legacy.

Princess Delphinia knows her mother, the queen of the Corvo kingdom, is up to no good. Del can feel it in her bones, and she's determined to uncover the truth. When her search for answers leads her to a mysterious chest filled with artifacts from the distant past–from the world before–she realizes her mother's nefarious actions are more deeply rooted than she ever could have imagined.

Finlay Cartwright's people have been hunted since the world collapsed after The Ending. An outcast in hiding, he's trained all his life for the day the Corvo kingdom would come for them. The queen, however, has other plans. When the man who raised Fin is taken, Fin will stop at nothing to save his people. But the lines between friend and foe are blurred when a castle servant girl on a mission of her own offers to help Fin with his rescue.

World After is the prequel to a riveting new series in the world of The Ending, The Ending Legacy. If you like unique dystopian worlds, coming-of-age transformations, star-crossed romances, and a hint of Fantasy in your Sci Fi, then you'll love this page-turning adventure.
