Tarot

A child who was never supposed to exist weaves four magical tapestries . . . thus accidentally creating the foundation for a new world.

“This gorgeous and lush fantasy is as fun as it is clever, a magical ride through a living Tarot deck.”—Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of Wife Upstairs

“Reminiscent of books by Tamora Pierce, with a strong female character who is coming into her own. . . . A must-have for fantasy lovers who enjoy a good romp through new worlds.”—School Library Journal

Her fate is so much more than the cards she was dealt.

Born of a forbidden union between the Queen and the tyrannical King’s archnemesis, Anna is forced to live out her days isolated in the Tower, with only her mentors and friends the Hermit, the Fool, and the Magician to keep her company. To pass the time, Anna imagines unique worlds populated by creatives and dreamers—the exact opposite of the King’s land of fixed fates and rigid rules—and weaves them into four glorious tapestries.

But on the eve of her sixteenth birthday and her promised release from the Tower, Anna discovers her true lineage: She’s the daughter of Marco, a powerful magician, and the King is worried that his magical gifts are starting to surface in Anna. Fearing for her life, Anna flees the Tower and finds herself in Cups, a lush, tropical land full of all the adventure, free-spiritedness, and creativity she imagined while weaving.

Anna thinks she’s found paradise in this world of beachside parties, endless food and drink, and exhilarating romance. But when the fabric of Cups begins to unravel, Anna discovers that her tapestries are more than just forbidden expression. They’re the foundation for a new world that she is destined to create—as long as the terrors from the old world don’t catch up with her first.
