Clara Graysword has always played the odds. In Eclipse City, magic is outlawed unless you wield it for the elite. Caught forging enchanted tarot cards, she faces a lifetime behind bars, until Prince Kaelis, the headmaster of Arcana Academy, makes her an offer she can’t refuse.
Steal a legendary tarot card from the king, and in exchange, he’ll grant her freedom. But there’s a catch: to protect her identity, Kaelis announces Clara as his fiancée and enrolls her in the Academy’s deadly halls of power.
As Clara navigates arcane magic, royal politics, and a prince who may be more than a ruthless schemer, the line between survival and betrayal blurs.
Elise Kova’s Arcana Academy begins a thrilling fantasy romance where danger and desire are written in the cards.
