About The Empress

Scarlett St. Clair meets Outlander in the seductive and spellbinding world of Towerfall, a new tarot-inspired fantasy series from New York Times bestselling author Kristin Cast. He's a ruthless, battle-scarred warrior with a dark past, and she's pretending to be his obedient wife to save a fantasy kingdom. This high heat, fake marriage romantasy has a morally gray love interest and a happily ever after.

The Arcana aren’t just figures in a tarot deck—they’re real. Terrifyingly real. That's what I learned when I found a tarot card in the snow and was yanked from my world and into Towerfall. The first thing the people of this harsh, cruel realm did was try to K*ll me, and they probably would have succeeded if Kane hadn't taken me to his hideout in the woods and nursed me back to health.

But I don't know if I can trust him. He's too hot to be good news, he's definitely hiding secrets, and I’ve already seen him K*ll two people to protect me. If I hadn't just been helplessly dumped into his world, the scars on his hands and his dark, brooding attitude would have me running in the opposite direction.

But right now, convincing the Kingdom of Pentacles that Kane and I are married is my best chance of getting into the palace, and back to my own world.

Because there's something wrong with Towerfall. Something deeply, terrifyingly wrong. And if anyone finds out Kane and I aren't really married?

Well, then both of us are dead.
