Queen of Wands

The epic first novel in The Tarocco Saga from an exciting new voice in Romantasy. Drawing on Tarot, Egyptian mythology and Sicilian tradition, an exiled princess must walk the Path of Queens to secure her destiny

Walk the path. Follow the cards. Save the Queendom. Davvera of Coins is cursed with magic so dangerous that it doomed her to exile. But when the beloved Queen of Wands dies and Davvera's Maiden Card is drawn from the Deck, the Cards decree her return. Whether she wants it or not, she must now walk the Path of Queens as a contender for the throne. Alongside five rivals, Davvera must survive deadly trials meant to reveal Tarocco's next true Queen. The terrain is treacherous, the immortals are deceitful - and nobody can be trusted, including Ciro, the infuriating, immortal knight sworn to protect her. With Tarocco slipping towards darkness and no Queen of Wands to hold it at bay, the sparks between Davvera and Ciro crackle into wildfire. Daverra has only one Card left to play. It could save the Queendom - or burn it to ash.
