Crystal mask is a fantasy novel by English writer Katherine Roberts. It is the second novel in The Echorium Sequence, and it is the sequel to Song Quest. The novel was first published in 2001 by the Chicken House. It is set in the world of the Isle of Echoes where the Singers live in The Echorium. The Singers have many special abilities, the most important of which is knowledge of the Songs of Power: Challa for sleep, Kashe for laughter, Shi for sadness, Aushan for fear and Yehn for death. All Singer children, called novices, learn these Songs, but if their voices do not last into adulthood they receive a mild form of Yehn which makes them forget the Songs. The Singers can also farlisten to hear over great distances, an ability enhanced by the bluestone which the Isle is made up of, and hear truth. The Singers help to keep peace on the mainland, and produce treaties to protect Half Creatures the half-human beings with knowledge of the Songs, which include merlee (fish people), naga (water snake people) and quetzal (bird people).

The novel follows the adventures of Renn, a gifted but often bullied Eight Year novice in the Echorium who can speak to Half-Creatures, and Shaiala Two-Hoof, a wild girl brought to the Island for treatment, who claims to have been raised by centaurs. Although initially the pair argue, meeting Rialle helps to calm Shaiala and she begins to remember, enough to reveal that her memories were wiped using a mask made of khiz. Second Singer Kherron takes this excuse to insist that Shaiala and Renn leave with him to search for Frazhin, the escaped khizpriest whose body was never found. During their journey, they encounter many dangers and mysteries, such as a woman who wears a mask of dark crystal that steals thoughts, a runaway Horselord prince who befriends Shaiala, and a hidden valley where Half Creatures are enslaved to mine khiz. Only by trusting each other and their own abilities can they stop the evil that threatens to destroy the world of the Singers.
The novel has received positive reviews from critics and readers alike. Kirkus Reviews praised Roberts for her skillful handling of song-based magic and charming Half Creatures. Goodreads users rated the novel 3.89 out of 5 stars based on 726 ratings and 17 reviews. One reviewer wrote: "I enjoyed the entire trilogy and this book is no exception. The whole world is very immersive and I found that I was sad at the end of the series. It definitely leave you wanting more!"
