Fairytale Tarot #1 / 2
by Erin Archer
The Queen's Card: A Sleeping Beauty Retelling (Fairytale Tarot #1) by Erin Archer
Unrated

Sleeping Beauty meets Once Upon A Broken Heart in this fairytale retelling about love and finding yourself. But the heroine isn’t the princess, it’s one of her royal guards.

He hates mortals.

She defends them.

Twenty-year-old Mira is training to be a Keeper of the Wards, a secret society within the mortal guard. With it comes magic, but she has to earn it first. She's on a quest to prove herself when the powerful enemy queen—with a penchant for tarot—threatens the princess and the alliance her kingdom so desperately needs. Powerless against the magic and running out of time, Mira's only hope is to deal with the threat head-on.

When Mira confronts an enemy breaching the kingdom’s wards, she’s captured by the Raven—the ruthless and enigmatic second-in-command to the enemy queen. When secrets unravel, loyalty will be tested, and enemies will become unlikely allies. Together, they must stop the enemy queen’s twisted arcana magic from destroying the realms, but it will force Mira to face her deepest fears.

Will Mira accept who she truly is or will the realms fall to darkness?

If you want an enemies-to-lovers slow burn romance with a raven-shifting love interest, then this fairytale fantasy romance is for you.

NOTE: This book is upper YA/new adult featuring some mature situations and adult language. The romance is slow burn with some steam.

The Queen’s Card is the first book in the Fairytale Tarot series, perfect for fans of Once Upon a Broken Heart and A Curse so Dark and Lonely who crave a little steam.

Erin Archer

Erin Archer writes fairytale retellings with a twist: sidelined heroines who finally get the spotlight & the morally gray men who fall for them first. Her slow burn enemies to lovers romances have just a dash of steam. Originally from Seattle, she traded gray clouds for sunshine, though she still pines for the rain, the mountains, and the coffee.

When she's not writing, you'll find her binge watching Outlander, playing Stardew Valley with her husband, or snuggling with her band of rescue dogs.
