The Red Harlequin - Book 1 Of Masks And Chromes (Extract)

Book 1 of the Best-Selling Dystopian Fantasy Series translated in 9 languages and with a TV series in development! And it all started right here on Wattpad!

In a world where everyone wears masks, the color you belong to determines your life... And your death. Except for strange creatures called Harlequins...

THE RED HARLEQUIN is set in a medieval-style fantasy world, shrouded in superstition, and divided into seven divergent territories. Centuries of conflict forced these territories apart. And this is how they remain. Segregated. For the good of the people...

Or so those in charge tell us.

There is one rule however, that all nations agree upon. Handed down by the Gods. A rule that, if broken, is punishable by imprisonment, banishment, even death...

Everyone must wear a MASK. Not a metaphorical one. A literal mask. Every single day of your life. This mask bears a color. The color of your nation.

Your color DEFINES you as a person. It chooses where you call home... who your friends and enemies are... Even who you can love.

And then there are those who do not belong to any single color. Outcasts. The ones they call...

THE HARLEQUINS.

Harlequins are not human. Truth is no-one really knows what they are. Legendary, frightful creatures lurking in the shadows, waiting for their moment to attack... Each nation tells stories of these blood-thirsty demons - who kill for pleasure. Creepy tales told throughout the lands to scare children...

"If you misbehave, the Harlequins will find you..."

But it isn't just the young who fear these soulless boogeymen. The mere mention of a Harlequin can strike fear into even the most hardened warrior's heart.

Just pray you never meet one...
