The Merchant's Mask

Book 1: The Mist Weaver Chronicles

In the patchwork territories of post-collapse New York, where invisible magic bends the minds of nearly everyone, Sera Mercet survives by being everything the city needs her to be. Artifact dealer. Socialite. Spy.

Lord Aldren Vashet suspects the neighboring Gramercy territory is planning expansion. The assignment is familiar: infiltrate the social circle of Daven Carwell — collector, gentleman, target — and extract what Aldren needs to know. Sera has done this before. She knows exactly how it works.

What she doesn't expect is a man perceptive enough to see past her performance. Or a growing interest she cannot entirely explain in the precise, unsettling artifact dealer on the Marketway who dates pre-collapse objects with impossible accuracy.
The Merchant's Mask is a slow-burn romantasy set in a lush 1880s-aesthetic New York five centuries after civilization's fall — where magic is real, loyalty is negotiable, and the most dangerous thing Sera Mercet owns is a feeling she hasn't yet named.
