Mask of Swords

Mask of the Demonsouled #1

by Jonathan Moeller

MAZAEL CRAVENLOCK has prevailed over terrible foes and now rules the Grim Marches with a firm hand. Yet ancient evils are stirring in the shadows, freed at last by Mazael's own deeds of valor. Unless Mazael fights with all his strength, the world will fall.


ADALAR is weary of war, has seen too many friends and comrades die. Yet dark forces are stirring in the shadows, and unless Adalar defends his lost home, those under his protection will perish.


SIGALDRA is the last holdmistress of the Jutai nation, the final defender of her people. Now the darkness comes to devour the final remnant of Sigaldra's home and family. Even Sigaldra's courage may not be enough to turn aside the shadows.


For the goddess has been freed at last, and her servants are eager to slay in her name...

Another thrilling tale in the Demonsouled world. I think I could continue reading in this world forever, and never get bored. Action packed, intrigue, suspense, etc. It's got it all.

Mask of Swords (Mask of the Demonsouled Book 1) Review

Dear Jonathan, an excellent continuation of the main series Demonsouled. As usual the entertainment and creativity involved is outstanding and exciting to read. I really enjoyed this additional story but still must state that this is an adult series because of the unbridled sexual activity. I do highly recommend reading this book. Thanks for the entertainment, Jonathan.

This is not the start of the series!

I made a mistake & instead of downloading book 1 of the Demonsouled series I got book 1 of a follow on series set after the old demon has been slain.

It took a while for all the details to make sense because I didn't read this series in the correct order but still a great series.

One complaint for the editor - every instance of though has been changed to thought, auto-correct fail?

Well now things keep getting more interesting with this series If I do say so myself and now with an enemy that has a thing to do with spiders and wants to take over the world. But the enemies are allot stronger this time one wears a mask that makes him invincible and won't allow him to be killed so it will be interesting to see how Maezel and his warriors will handle this.

I've started to review this twice and both times my comments have disappeared, even though I hit "save." Going to leave a review at Mask of Dragons.

My boy Mazael Cravenlock is back, still trying to keep the peace, people still testing his patience, they are lucky that new enemies are coming...because he's got a new sword and wants to use it.

So happy Jonathan is continuing this series, Mazael has to be one of my favorite characters in fiction. It was nice to see Adalar as well, I went back and re-read the Demonsouled series before starting this one and loved how they all flowed together. Adalar is battle-weary now, his whole life has been pretty much one war after another...and another one is just starting. I also liked the introduction of Sigaldra, leader of the Jutai who find themselves alone in a new land with no allies (or so she thinks).

One other thing I loved is how the new ancient enemies of old are coming back from the dark after the defeat of the Old Demon - and they all know what Mazael is - love those interactions.

Keep writing these Jonathan and I'll keep throwing you my money.

I am happy Jonathan returned to writing another series centered around Mazael Cravenlock. The Demonsouled series is my favorite series he has written. There is a lot of background on the characters and past events in this book that Jonathan gives short synopsis' of to try to keep the reader from getting confused, so it can be read without reading the Demonsouled books first, but my suggestion to anyone who has not read the Demonsouled series is to read it before reading Mask of Swords.
