From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the House of Night series, Kristin Cast, comes a spicy and spellbinding light romantasy filled with tarot, banter, steamy tension, and a heroine caught between her toxic ex and a dangerously charming king who may not be who he seems.

Gemma Summers is broke, burnt out, and about three weeks from moving back in with her parents. Her career has imploded, her confidence is circling the drain, and the last thing she needs is a run-in with Alder Hawke—the dangerously charming ex who still haunts her dreams and could buy her a new life with just his pocket change.

When a magickal tarot card sends them spiraling—literally—into another realm and they land in the steampunk-inspired Kingdom of Cups, Gemma is forced to rely on the man who shattered her trust, broke her heart, and somehow still makes her weak in the knees.

But survival in the world of Towerfall is anything but simple, especially when she's caught between the ex who wants to own her and a roguish former king who sees through every one of her defenses.

With secrets mounting, identities unraveling, and her heart very much on the line, Gemma must decide: will she cling to the version of herself she built in the real world… or risk everything to become the woman she was always meant to be?

One enchanted tarot card. Two infuriatingly hot men. And a modern woman who refuses to be anyone's damsel.

Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website. Narrated in duet style.

Kristin Cast has a way of pulling characters into the world that feels like a version of yourself, healing as they do through a fantastical and world shifting metamorphosis. Gemma is so much braver than I could imagine being, but every woman knows some of the challenges she faces. We may not be chased around a castle by a blood magic obsessed queen and her evil priest, but it’s easier to relate to her personal relationships. We probably all have a toxic ex that made us hopeful for too long. We’ve felt the hands of a man that only wanted to use our body. Most of us know how it feels to be “wanted” in a physical way, but not equally respected and valued as more than a body with curves. This story isn’t just about magick, it’s about the strength to risk everything for the sake of self respect and reliance. This story is about women refusing to back down, fighting against steel and the patriarchy when the injustice has gone on too long. A breathtakingly beautiful book full of mystery, romance, and the sweetest fruits. I am thrilled to continue into the world of Towerfall with the next books!

I laughed, cried, and wanted to scream for these characters! Audiobook voiced perfectly, physical book absolutely stunning.
