Hudson Tremaine is a streetwise gambler who has siphoned money from every high-stakes game in Vegas. She’s made a name for herself, but she’s also made more than a few enemies in the gambling underworld. When she is invited to play in the most underground card tournaments of all–the Arcanos Mysterinos–she realizes the stakes are higher than she ever imagined possible.
Imagine a clandestine poker tournament where magicians, demons, and demigods gamble using a set of mysterious tarot-like cards. These games shape the fate of the world . . . of many worlds . . . for good or ill. This game has always been played in secret, hidden from the prying eyes of mortals.
Until now.
Hudson has always been willing to bet on herself–but playing for the fate of all humanity is something she never anticipated!
