Dragon Age: The Masked Empire

Dragon Age, Book 4

De: Patrick Weekes

Narrado por: Gildart Jackson

Empress Celene of Orlais rose to the throne of the most powerful nation in Thedas through wisdom, wit, and ruthless manipulation. Now the empire she has guided into an age of enlightenment is threatened from within by imminent war between the templars and the mages, even as rebellion stirs among the downtrodden elves. To save Orlais, Celene must keep her hold on the throne by any means necessary.

Fighting with the legendary skill of the Orlesian Chevaliers, Grand Duke Gaspard has won countless battles for the empire and the empress. But as the Circle fails and chaos looms, Gaspard begins to doubt that Celene's diplomatic approach to Orlais' problems will keep the empire safe. Perhaps it is time for a new leader, one who lives by the tenets of the Chevalier's Code, to make Orlais strong again.

Briala has been Celene's handmaid since the two of them were children, subtly using her position to help improve the lives of elves across Orlais. She is Celene's confidante, spymaster, and lover, but when politics force the empress to choose between the rights of the elves and the Orlesian throne, Briala must decide where her true loyalties lie.

The Best Dragon Age Book

Masked Empire is one of the most well written and enjoyable Dragon Age story so far. The plot intricate and woven so well the the story of the games.

An incredible prelude to Dragon Age Inquisition and Tresspaseer

If you love elf characters, dragon age lore, schemey politics, and an excellently paced book, look no further. This book is everything I could want in a dragon age book.

loved it!

Really hope the next books author can complete with this one, was a great listen!

A Kingdom of Intrigue

You dont need to have played the games to understand the story, though if you have it is all the more sweeter.

Political and social intrigue with a mask of war and (if you’ve played the games) foreshadowing of current and future events in the series.

Overall amazing, even if it does drag a few things at times. Recommend.

Wonderful

If you are a Dragon Age fan, this is a great book for you to read and expand your understanding of the world
