Queen of the Last World

Return to Arcana Academy for tarot magic, romance, and world-shattering adventure in the final volume of this New York Times  bestselling fantasy romance trilogy.

Clara Graysword has always wanted to make the world a better place for the people that she loves: Her fellow Arcanists. Her beloved friends from the Star-Crossed Club. The people of Oricalis who could benefit from tarot magic. Her sister Arina. And her true love, Prince Kaelis.

But bettering the world leads to remaking it entirely. And Clara reaps the unintended consequences of wielding immense power.

Because she finds herself in a new reality: A place filled with people she loves, yet not always as she remembers them. A reality where she would've hoped all her dreams should have come to pass, but now finds herself confronted with an inconceivably ancient evil possessing the heart of the man she loves.

Some struggles cannot be left to fate. While her future may be in the cards, victory must be claimed with her own two hands. And to triumph, Clara will need powers even greater than tarot magic: Courage. Strength. And a love that has luck on its side.
