From New York Times bestselling author of the House of Night series, Kristin Cast, comes a spicy and spellbinding light romantasy filled with tarot, banter, and a heroine caught between an old flame and a roguish king.

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the House of Night series, Kristin Cast, comes a spicy and spellbinding light romantasy filled with tarot, banter, steamy tension, and a heroine caught between her toxic ex and a dangerously charming king who may not be who he seems.

Gemma Summers is broke, burnt out, and about three weeks from moving back in with her parents. Her career has imploded, her confidence is circling the drain, and the last thing she needs is a run-in with Alder Hawkeβ€”the dangerously charming ex who still haunts her dreams and could buy her a new life with just his pocket change.

When a magickal tarot card sends them spirallingβ€”literallyβ€”into another realm, and they land in the steampunk-inspired Kingdom of Cups, Gemma is forced to rely on the man who shattered her trust, broke her heart, and somehow still makes her weak in the knees.

But survival in the world of Towerfall is anything but simple, especially when she's caught between the ex who wants to own her and a roguish former king who sees through every one of her defences.

With secrets mounting, identities unravelling, and her heart very much on the line, Gemma must decideβ€”will she cling to the version of herself she built in the real world... or risk everything to become the woman she was always meant to be?

One enchanted tarot card. Two infuriatingly hot men. And a modern woman who refuses to be anyone's damsel.

About the Author

Kristin is a #1 NYT and #1 USA Today bestselling author with over 30 million books in print. She is proudly neurodivergent (ASD + OCD) and deeply consumed by character-driven chaos, emotionally vulnerable heroes, and smart, sexy heroines who always get the last word and the hot guy. When she's not writing, you'll find her devouring thriller, horror, and romance novels, practicing witchcraft, and being the exact kind of unhinged that makes group chats worth opening.
