M.A. Carrick

M.A. Carrick is the joint pen name of Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms, two acclaimed fantasy authors who collaborated to create the Rook & Rose trilogy. Brennan, a Hugo Award nominee known for her Memoirs of Lady Trent series, and Helms, author of the Adventures of Mr. Mystic series, combine their talents to weave intricate tales of con artists, magic, and political intrigue. Their partnership produced the critically praised novels "The Mask of Mirrors," "The Liar's Knot," and "Labyrinth's Heart," which transport readers to the richly imagined Renaissance-inspired city of Nadežra, where elaborate cons unfold against a backdrop of ancient prophecy and mysterious powers.
