Four queens, like points on a compass: remove one, and the Realm tilts toward chaos…

Davvera of Coins is cursed with a dangerous power 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 other maidens face a series of trials designed to reveal the next Queen. If treacherous terrain and shapeshifting immortals weren’t challenge 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: a power that could save the Realm—if it doesn’t destroy her first.

QUEEN OF WANDS is the first installment in the TAROCCO SAGA, a series.
