Queen of Swords Paperback

You've drawn your first card. Now begin her story.

In a kingdom where magic is outlawed and betrayal runs deep, one fallen queen must reclaim her power—or lose everything.

Queen Petronella was crowned too soon and silenced too long. Her only sacred duty? To bear an heir.

She failed.

Now her husband wants a new wife. And the only way to break their royal bond... is to kill her.

On the run with nothing but her life—and her husband's intended replacement—Petronella must survive a land drowning beneath endless rain, secrets, and sorcery.

The kingdom of Epera is dying.

But as forgotten magic stirs, so does the truth of who Petronella truly is—and what she will sacrifice to save it.

Queen of Swords is Book One in Tales from the Tarot—a complete epic fantasy series inspired by the archetypes of the tarot deck.
