Description
“Lush, engrossing and full of mystery and dark magic" (BookPage), Labyrinth's Heart is the thrilling conclusion to M. A. Carrick's Rook & Rose trilogy, in which a con artist, a vigilante, and a crime lord become reluctant allies in the quest to save their city from a dangerous ancient magic.May you see the face and not the mask. Ren came to Nadežra with a plan. She would pose as the long-lost daughter of the noble house Traementis. She would secure a fortune for herself and her sister. And she would vanish without a backward glance. She ought to have known that in the city of dreams, nothing is ever so simple. Now, she is Ren, con-artist and thief. But she is also Renata, the celebrated Traementis heir. She is Arenza, the mysterious pattern-reader and political rebel. And she is the Black Rose, a vigilante who fights alongside the legendary Rook. Even with the help of Grey Serrado and Derossi Vargo, it is too many masks for one person to wear. And as the dark magic the three of them helped unleash builds to storm that could tear the very fabric of the city apart, it's only a matter of time before one of the masks slips—and everything comes crashing down around them.The Rook & Rose trilogyThe Mask of Mirrors The Liar's Knot Labyrinth's Heart

Published Reviews
Publisher's Weekly Review
Carrick, the pseudonym for author duo Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms, sends out the Rook & Rose trilogy (after The Liar's Knot) with a laborious epic fantasy. Heroine Ren has spent the series wearing many masks, but now they all fall off as the secrets of the city of Nadežra gradually come to light. The city is buckling under an ancient curse with a mysterious connection to a set of lost medallions that Ren and her allies, Capt. Grey Serrado of the city Vigil and crime lord Derossi Varg, set out to gather and destroy. Meanwhile, Grey's old demons return--this time in the flesh. There are so many dominos set up in the previous books that need to fall, and the unfortunate result of the author's diligently hitting them all is glacial pacing and a lack of suspense in the ultimate showdown. The third act is especially slow going, eaten up by overly detailed discussions of tarot card spreads. The result is an arduous trek through a murky world. Agents: for Brennan, Eddie Schneider, Jabberwocky; for Helms, Paul Stevens, DMLA. (Aug.)
