Missed Fortunes

To solve the problem of now...

...to the final outcome.

Carolyn knows the Emergence brought her a new community, but it also revealed the existence of people with magical Talent to the scrutiny of the world. Her high school life ended on a tumultuous note, but now that she's a junior at Pine Hills University, her life has become stable. She has her twin Kit. She has her sorority sisters. She has her Talent and her Tarot cards.

But when the Tower appears in a reading, the world shatters and changes. Kit has left his predictive Talent behind, and Carolyn's own predictive Talent is changing decidedly unpredictably. She's seeing visions of fire and destruction, of Shadows moving in the darkness and intruding into the light. And her sorority sister Drea and Drea's brother Alaric have returned from winter break, warning of looming dangers and the risk of Clan going to war.

Carolyn shouldn't get involved-doesn't want to get involved-but with the world crumbling around her and her predictions hinting at worse to come, she can't imagine not doing what she can. To make matters worse, the only way forward is to reconcile with her past, but Carolyn isn't sure how to do that nor why it seems so important to the world that she does.
