LEIGH ESPOSITO,
AUTHOR
QUEEN OF WANDS: a romantic fantasy set in the world of tarot, inspired by Ancient Sicilian & Egyptian Mythology. Coming soon from Viking-Penguin & Sphere…
Davvera of Coins is cursed with a dangerous magic that got her banished to the edges of Tarocco. But when the Queen of Wands dies and Davvera’s Card is chosen as a contender for the crown, her days in exile are over. Because in Tarocco, the Cards don’t lie.
Now, Davvera and four others face trials designed to reveal the next true queen. If treacherous terrain and shapeshifting immortals weren’t enough, it seems everyone is conspiring against her: from the King and Queen of Coins—her parents—to the rakish Ciro of Wands, a handsome knight who seems intent on thwarting her.
As dark forces encroach and the spark between Ciro and Davvera crackles into a wildfire, Davvera must show the one Card she’s loath to play: her secret power, which could save the realm—if it doesn’t destroy her first.
The mesmerizing first installment in Leigh Esposito’s TAROCCO SAGA, coming soon from Viking/Penguin Random House US & Sphere UK.
