About Queen of Spades

She was created. She was born. She was designed for this. Spade Acrinovien’s life is bound to the island of New Arelia by an ancient prophecy. If she leaves, death will devastate the island and her people. One day, a mistake sweeps her away from all she has ever known to the continent she once thought was destroyed. Her world is shaken, but the solution is clear: she must return home before the prophecy destroys everything she has spent her whole life protecting. Her only hope, however, appears in the form of a drunken and dubious prince who offers her a soul-binding deal. For passage home, she must become the Champion of the Trials. Spade needs to take on the savage Academy and its three challenges, fit for only the most ruthless of students, or die trying. Will she survive and return in time, or will death swallow her people? Through wicked enemies, foreboding prophecies, and whispers of magic long forgotten, Spade comes to understand that survival and trust are entwined in the same game, and nobody plays fair. Queen of Spades is the first installment of an action-packed series filled with gut-wrenching truths, blossoming friendships, and heartbreaking loss—perfect for fans of Powerless and Throne of Glass.
