DISCLAIMER:
Hello, dear readers. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this story.
Before we begin, I think it's important to introduce you to this alternate universe I have carefully and respectfully crafted, inspired by characters and a historical setting that, although rooted in The Count of Monte Cristo, remain underexplored.
I do not own any of the original characters or the universe, except for those I have created myself. All rights belong to the original creators of the work. Please do not plagiarize or steal my writing! The Game of Masks is a work of fiction. All names, characters, places, events, and actions described in this book are either entirely fictional or inspired by Dumas's novel in a fictitious reimagining, unless otherwise noted. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. I claim no rights over anything except my original characters.
Throughout the story, you may find nods to some of my favorite books, movies, series, and fictional works. Once again, all rights belong to their original creators.
About the Book:
This is not just another love story between a young woman and a young man (though I adore those too). It's primarily a tale of identity, family, and vengeance, but also one of self-discovery. The Game of Masks explores the light and darkness of the past, redemption, and the new beginnings life offers, even after the harshest trials.
At the heart of this story is Alessia, a young woman whose life seemed irreparably broken, forced to grow up in a house of prostitution. But everything changes when a mysterious man, known as the Count of Monte Cristo, reveals her true heritage, a lost family, and the chance to take revenge on those who destroyed her life. Her journey takes her into the intricate and dangerous world of Paris, where lies and truths intertwine.
And of course, there's Albert. Their relationship is not merely a simple romance but a complex dance between love, fear, and secrets. Through their growing bond, Alessia is forced to confront not only her past but also what she truly desires: a life of sincerity, love, and hope.
This book delves into profound themes: violence, loss, redemption, and transformation. Expect moments of hardship, cruel choices, but also flashes of light. If you love stories about imperfect characters who stumble, rise again, and find second chances—with a touch of intrigue and slow-burning romance—then this book is for you.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and understanding. Happy reading!
Note: If you want to read the French version, it's also available on my profile.
