Welcome back to Arcana Academy. Tarot magic, forbidden desire, battle, and betrayal collide for the power to change the world in the thrilling second book of this <New York Times< bestselling fantasy romance series.

<I am terrified. Yet my heart skips a beat. This man might be a monster, but he is my monster.<

Clara Graysword is Oricalis&rsquo;s most wanted. Hunted and cornered, not even her mastery of tarot can save her this time . . . until the mysterious Worldkeepers appear. This secretive order may hold the key to changing Clara&rsquo;s fate. If she dares to trust them.

But the most dangerous alliance of all is one she&rsquo;s already deeply ensnared within: Prince Kaelis.

Kaelis, second-born prince of Oricalis and headmaster of Arcana Academy, is the one man she can&rsquo;t escape&mdash;maybe she doesn&rsquo;t <want< to escape. Ruthless, dangerous, and bound to Clara by destiny and desire, Kaelis tests her heart as much as her loyalty. Together, they grow closer to the most powerful secrets of the tarot . . . and to the truths they both hide that could destroy the passion that they no longer deny.

Hidden in plain sight within Arcana Academy, Clara walks the dagger&rsquo;s edge. Revelations about Oricalis threaten everything she thought she knew, and every choice she makes is the difference between salvation and ruin.

To change the world, Clara must risk everything&mdash;her power, her beliefs, and her heart.
