Arcana Academy: Arcana Academy, Book 1
“Magical from nail-biting beginning to shocking end!”—Danielle L. Jensen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Fate Inked in Blood
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A woman who wields magical tarot cards lands herself in a false engagement with the headmaster of a mysterious academy in this first installment of an enthralling fantasy romance series from the bestselling author of A Deal with the Elf King.
The dazzling first edition hardcover of Arcana Academy will feature gold foil page edges, designed endpapers, two interior black-and-white maps, a custom-stamped case, and a premium dust jacket with foil—while supplies last!
Clara Graysword has survived the underworld of Eclipse City through thievery, luck, and a whole lot of illegal magic. After a job gone awry, Clara is sentenced to a lifetime in prison for inking tarot cards—a rare power reserved for practitioners at the elite Arcana Academy.
Just when it seems her luck has run dry, the academy’s enigmatic headmaster, Prince Kaelis, offers her an escape—for a price. Kaelis believes that Clara is the perfect tool to help him steal a tarot card from the king and use it to re-create an all-powerful card long lost to time.
In order to conceal her identity and keep her close, Kaelis brings Clara to Arcana Academy, introducing her as the newest first-year student and his bride-to-be.
Thrust into a world of arcane magic and royal intrigue, where one misstep will send her back to prison or worse, Clara finds that the prince she swore to hate may not be what he seems. But can she risk giving him power over the world—and her heart? Or will she take it for herself?

Took me 4 days to read from jan 1-jan5. I usually rate my books 1 -5 . So this will be different i guess itll be a 10 since i considered it a 5/5 me no doubt. I'll definitely continue the series. Very intrigued by the magic system that involves tarot. Its a dark academia . I like the MFC. I found it was a good pace. A little mystery, adventure, emotional.
When I tell you this is the next best fantasy series!!! I LOVED this book. I cannot wait for the next one to be released!!
I have a love hate relationship with Prince Kaelis. I don’t trust him to give Clara exactly her world or even his version of the world but at the same time his actions and some words make me just melt. Very clever of Clara to keep a major card with her but it’s the easiest card Kaelis can replace.
ALSO THE ENDING. HER SISTER IS ALIVE?!?!?!? What. The. Actual. F*€k.
