Major Arcana: The Journey Begins (an urban fantasy)

Some things cannot be unseen.And the Scry sees everything.I’d always known there was something wrong with me. “She’s got the Scry,” I’d overheard them say when they thought I was too young to understand. But I understood plenty.The Scry didn’t hurt anyone unless I got angry, which was hardly ever. Mostly it let me see into a person’s mind—if they held still long enough. The cards helped with that. They made people feel more comfortable. They made me feel more comfortable too. It was weird what I could do, and even weirder to learn that strangers would pay me to do it.Myra Stanley is done with beige. Beige house. Beige family. Beige life. Thirty-eight years of beige is more than enough. So, she trades her half of the family property for an outrageously customized hippie wagon, her tarot cards, and the open road, chasing the quiet pull of the Scry—a psychic gift she’s spent decades trying to repress.But when a bitter goodbye with her twin sister Kate turns ugly, the Scry surges to the surface, ripping open an old, dangerous rift between them.Now she’s cruising down the California highways with nothing but her cards, old memories, and a broken clock she refuses to leave behind. When she crosses paths with a man who talks to plants and smells like leather and sage, an unexpected spark ignites between them. Drawn deeper into his world and the supernatural threat that comes with it, she must learn to embrace and wield the Scry she was taught to fear—or risk losing the magical life she’s only just begun.For Readers Who Love:road trips • tarot cards • dark urban fantasy • reluctant psychic powers • mid-life coming-of-age • slow-burn romanceIn The Shadows:family trauma • domestic abuse • implied harm to children and animals • graphic body horror & supernatural possession. . . . .Major Arcana: The Journey Beginsis the first in a five book series, and Pre-Orders are now open.If you know someone who loves tarot or urban fantasy, please pass this along to them . . .
