“Magical from nail-biting beginning to shocking end!”—Danielle L. Jensen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Fate Inked in Blood
A woman who wields magical tarot cards lands herself in a false engagement with the headmaster of a mysterious academy in this first installment of an enthralling fantasy romance series from the bestselling author of A Deal with the Elf King.
Clara Graysword has survived the underworld of Eclipse City through thievery, luck, and a whole lot of illegal magic. After a job gone awry, Clara is sentenced to a lifetime in prison for inking tarot cards—a rare power reserved for practitioners at the elite Arcana Academy.
Just when it seems her luck has run dry, the academy’s enigmatic headmaster, Prince Kaelis, offers her an escape—for a price. Kaelis believes that Clara is the perfect tool to help him steal a tarot card from the king and use it to re-create an all-powerful card long lost to time.
In order to conceal her identity and keep her close, Kaelis brings Clara to Arcana Academy, introducing her as the newest first-year student and his bride-to-be.
Thrust into a world of arcane magic and royal intrigue, where one misstep will send her back to prison or worse, Clara finds that the prince she swore to hate may not be what he seems. But can she risk giving him power over the world—and her heart? Or will she take it for herself?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
You want star-crossed love, duels, magic, secrets, and devastating betrayals? Then this first book in a dark academia series is for you. When Clara, imprisoned for illegally inking magical tarot cards, is unexpectedly given an opportunity to escape from Halazar, the Kingdom of Oricalis’ worst prison, she doesn’t understand what’s in it for Prince Kaelis because she’s always believed him responsible for murdering her mother and putting her in prison in the first place. But the prince needs her unusual abilities, both with cards and crime, for an act of world-changing magic, so he places her in Arcana Academy as a new student…and as his betrothed. As Clara works to perfect her skills, she finds her feelings toward the prince begin to change. Can she find her footing in this strange environment before the secrets of her past and the guards of Halazar catch up to her? We were happy to stick with Clara through every twist and turn of her dangerous first academic year.
