Some books are a work of art because of the words inside them. They make you feel and reflect and learn. Dark Tarot is a love story. It’s a story of family, of loss, of discovery. It’s a story of friendship. We visit old friends in a way we’ve not done since Dark Celebration and I love that feeling of nostalgia as we travel all around the world to see them.











Dark Tarot’s cover is absolutely stunning. When I held the book in my hands and looked at that cover it was a feeling hard to describe. I’m so proud of this book on so many levels. The cover was designed by Kristin del Rosario and I think it’s one of the most beautiful covers I’ve ever seen. She did an amazing job with the cover which adds to the artistic flair of the overall presentation of the book.



It doesn’t stop there. Inside the book is more original art. The Baker Sisters, Mercedes and Melissa, created these amazing tarot cards exclusively for me and for Dark Tarot. They did the entire Major Arcana of the tarot. There are 23 cards, which means there are 23 chapters, starting with zero – The Fool. It ends with a very special card that you may recognize from the book trailer, the tote or some other promo pictures we’ve put out – The Goddess card. I’ll do a separate blog about her later. She is not part of the original tarot deck as most people know it.

I can’t wait for people to hold this book in their hands or see it on their eReader so they can see just how unique these beautiful, artistic cards truly are.

Let me know if you're intrigued by the cards!

In Dark Tarot we find that Adalasia comes from an ancient family. Her heritage includes a powerful, magical deck of tarot cards handed down from mother to daughter for centuries. Rumored to be the first such deck of cards, these antique cards hold a decidedly feminine power. Soon, even the ancient Carpathians begin to understand exactly how powerful this line of powerful women are. One touch…and the cards react to these ancient men. What will their future hold? What will Adalasia’s future hold? And why is the blood infused into the cards so familiar to Sandu?



I’ve had this idea for tarot cards for some time now. This deck holds Italian decoration and the history dates back so far that even with the stories told from mother to daughter there are lost secrets that must be found.


The Goddess card represents the feminine power of these cards. This card is part of the deck but not in the way most people who read tarot would recognize. It does something altogether different but exceedingly important. She is an anchor. A seat of power. Only those taught to use this deck understand her purpose.



I wanted to show just how strong, powerful and loyal women are and have always been. This represents hundreds of women who have held the power of the cards, infusing it with their own power. These women have a purpose that is both dangerous and necessary.

I want women to celebrate their heritage and their strength. I want women to embrace their own power and appreciate those women who lifted them up to support them and handed down history one woman at a time.
