The Best Selling YA Fantasy Series with 20,000 copies sold, 1,000 ratings on Goodreads, graphic novel adaptations and a TV series in the making with Omnifilm Entertainment!
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...
What readers are saying about the Red Harlequin series:
"A plot line that keeps you predicting with some surprising twists. Even when you can predict correctly, the resultant outcome is surprising. Characterization is flawless as one hardly realizes it's being done. There are certainly several relevant themes at play. Thumbs up. I'm getting them all." - Kindle Reviewer
"The world-building was superb, the suspense built deliciously, and at the risk of giving away more spoilers, I'll just say my only disappointment was that it ended too soon." - Kindle Reviewer
"I wanted to find some words to describe this book but it left me speechless. I loved it , the plot, the idea was one of the most inspiring to me, I wish there were more books like this." - Goodreads Reviewer
"Very different story - I started it and didn't put it down until the end. Will definitely read Book 2 to see what happens to Asheva next." - Goodreads Reviewer
"A Fantasy book that makes you think. It is very well written. Asheva goes from naive to discovering deceipt and lies. It is a fantasy book that resembles very much our current world." - Kindle Reviewer
"Great continuation of the story! Really liking the story and world Ricci has created here. Highly recommend!" - Goodreads Reviewer
"I usually do not read this type of genre but I'm glad I did. This series pulls you in with a great underlying message." - Goodreads Reviewer
"I am really enjoying this series. Each book is more interesting than the last. The author is doing an awesome job with plot and character development." - Kindle Reviewer
"This author surprised me! The story is fiction, but the insight into people is what really appealed to me. I read all 3 books in the series and am looking forward to the fourth." - Kindle Reviewer
