Amos Daragon

Amos Daragon series.
Translated by Y. Maudet.
Amos Daragon (The Mask Wearer) returns; here a young queen uses voodoo to send Amos on a quest to Braha, the City of the Dead. As before, Amos's brilliance (rarely in evidence but often mentioned) unravels cunning plots and restores balance to the world. The stiff translation and lack of much character complexity are drawbacks, but fantasy-adventure fans may not mind.

Amos Daragon series.
Translated by Y. Maudet.
Gorgons, evil sorcerers, and vicious lords meet their match in twelve-year-old Amos Daragon. Endowed with a magical mask and sharp wits, Amos must lead an army against dark forces. The story expends more energy generating rather thin subplots than developing the crop of characters, but the adventure sequences and array of mythical creatures may appeal to fantasy fans.
