The Masque of Count Milado

A long lost Masque created by ancient majics comes to light, one capable of transforming the wearer into the identity of another. Xavier Gaines is employed by the Sybellines to steal it before harm can come from its use, though he never gets the chance. It's owner, Count Milado, dies in mysterious circumstances and the Masque has disappeared once again. While the surviving royals struggle for control of the Milado estates, a troop of mercenaries and a lone wizard find their way into the intrigue. As Xavier struggles to discover the whereabouts of the Masque, deeper plots are uncovered that prove the Masque hasn't vanished at all, but central to a plot involving kingdoms. Nothing and no one is as it seems.
