Prince of Swords (Arcana Academy)

Clara Graysword is a woman on the run, hunted by the very kingdom she once called home. As a master of tarot magic, she possesses power that could shift the balance of Oricalis, but her survival now rests on a precarious gamble with the mysterious Worldkeepers. To navigate this treacherous new reality, Clara must return to the heart of the enemy’s territory: Arcana Academy.

Her greatest threat—and her most complicated entanglement—remains Prince Kaelis. As the second-born prince and the academy’s ruthless headmaster, Kaelis is a man shrouded in shadows and ambition. Bound together by destiny and a volatile, forbidden desire, the two are locked in a dance of shifting loyalties and dangerous secrets.

Kaelis pushes Clara to the brink, challenging her strength while igniting a passion she is no longer willing to suppress. Within the walls of the academy, the lines between ally and adversary blur. As Clara uncovers the dark truths behind the kingdom’s foundation, she must decide how much of her soul she is willing to sacrifice.

With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Clara realizes that trusting her heart might be the most dangerous move of all.
