Death Card

By Jasmine Smith

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A dark contemporary fantasy set against the richly wrought backdrop of New Orleans, featuring witchcraft, tarot, death, and a bit of romance

"A charming and compulsively readable debut."--Jamison Shea, author of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me

The paperback edition features stunning stenciled edges

On an ordinary Monday morning, eighteen-year-old Mikaela Broussard receives the shock of her life. During a customer's tarot reading at her family's occult shop, she turns over the Death card and envisions the beautiful stranger stabbing her in the heart.

In order to determine why the girl, Joelle, wants to kill her, she'll have to keep her close. But the more time Mikaela spends with her soon-to-be murderer, the more irresistible she finds her.

As if imminent death isn't worrisome enough, witches are turning up with their magic stolen. And it's clear some very dark magic is at work. Mikaela, as the next Witch Queen of her coven, is tasked with figuring out who's behind the horrific acts--a mystery that will put her and her power to the test.

Death Card is a dark, pacy, and romantic fantasy about one witch's journey to find the strength to fight for herself, her future, and her beloved community.
