What happens when a twenty-three-year-old woman stumbles into a world of magick, mystery, and one ridiculously hot, broody hero?

She breaks all the rules, obviously.

Hannah has always done what she should—until a tarot reading goes sideways and drops her into a world where magick is real, danger lurks in the shadows, and men look like they’ve stepped out of a fantasy novel. Case in point: Kane, the kingdom’s gruff yet infuriatingly gorgeous protector, who claims Hannah’s arrival isn’t an accident. Apparently, she’s the key to saving his realm from ruin.

Hannah's priorities?

1. Get her tarot card back.

2. Find a way home.

3. Absolutely do not fall for the battle-scarred warrior who makes her want to forget all her plans.

But as the palace's secrets unravel, and enemies close in, the line between duty and desire blurs. Because if Hannah wants to return to her world, she'll have to embrace the magick inside her and trust the one man who makes her question everything.

For fans of That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon and The Four Horseman series by Laura Thalassa, The Empress is a laugh-out-loud, spicy romantasy filled with tarot, spellbinding adventure, and a hero who is broody, sexy, and just the right amount of trouble.

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

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?

For fans of That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon and The Four Horseman series by Laura Thalassa, The Empress is a laugh-out-loud, spicy romantasy filled with tarot, spellbinding adventure, and a hero who is broody, sexy, and just the right amount of trouble.

A SWORDS TAROT TOWERFALL NOVELLA

From New York Times bestselling authors Kristin Cast and Gina L. Maxwell, King is an enchanting, steamy romantasy novella set in the tarot-inspired Towerfall universe.

A night of wine and witchcraft turns into a waking nightmare when Elara is torn from her world and thrown into the fantastical kingdom of Towerfall—where magick is power, and she’s the prize.

Auctioned to the highest bidder, she’s bought and rescued by Ronan, the King of Swords—a broody warrior seeking vengeance against the person who destroyed his life. He doesn’t believe in fate. He doesn’t believe in love. But Elara isn’t just another pawn he can use in his games—she’s sharp and cutting, beauty and banter at every turn.

She makes him a deal: her help with his revenge in exchange for a way home. But as Ronan trains her, the line between their agreement and their desire blurs.

He never meant to crave her. She never meant to fall in love.

But in a world not her own and a situation growing more precarious by the day, falling for the King of Swords might be the most dangerous gamble of all.

A SWORDS TAROT TOWERFALL NOVELLA

☆ Why Choose
☆ MMF
☆ Forbidden Love
☆ Fake Engagement

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Kristin Cast and Gina L. Maxwell comes another spellbinding romantasy novella in the Towerfall universe, a scorching MMF romance brimming with courtly intrigue and forbidden passion.

One woman. Two forbidden men. A kingdom that could tear them apart.

After catching her fiancé in bed with someone else, Stella swore off love. But when her best friend vanishes, leaving behind only a cryptic tarot card, she's pulled through a portal into the fantasy realm of Towerfall—landing in the middle of a fight between two dangerously gorgeous warriors.

Prince Valen Greymourn has two weeks to marry, or his parents will force him to take a bride. It's a problem, considering his heart already belongs to his best friend and captain of the guard, Marek Drayk. Stella's arrival is an opportunity wrapped in temptation—if she agrees to a marriage of convenience, Valen will help her find her missing friend.

But to convince the court, Stella and Valen must play the part of passionate lovers. And Marek? He refuses to stand aside.

Behind closed doors, tension turns to touch, pretending into pleasure. Desire ignites. Lines blur. And when betrayal threatens their fragile bond, Stella faces an impossible choice—walk away from the two men who have claimed her heart, or defy an empire for a love that was never meant to exist.
