“It’s been thrilling to chart Maxine’s journey from Archer’s Peak to her new life as the only sanctioned Black Mask in the House of Slaughter.

Studios. “The Great House has its eyes on the House of Slaughter, and Maxine is about to get a glimpse of the dangers waiting for the American Houses…”
“After three books, Maxine Slaughter has become one of my favorite characters!” said co-creator and series artist Werther Dell’Edera. “I can’t wait to see what will happen when Maxine and Erica’s paths eventually collide!”
