Some first dates end with a goodnight kiss. Hers ended with exploding glassware, rogue tarot cards, and a man who can set shadows on fire.

Laynie’s love life was already a cosmic joke. But when she borrows a deck of enchanted tarot cards—without asking her best friend—her awkward first date spirals into a magical disaster. Now, hunted by a secretive cult and pursued by a mysterious man named Leigh who claims to be her protector, Laynie finds herself caught between destiny, danger, and a heartbeat that won’t stop echoing in her bones.

Velum Obscura, a dark magical order thought to be nothing more than witchy folklore, believes Laynie is the key to a prophecy she’s never heard of. The cards hum with ancient power. The shadows are watching. And Leigh—brooding, powerful, maddening Leigh—might be the only one who can keep her alive.
Or the one who’ll break her heart.
