Overview

King of Swords - Arcana, Book 1

David is a newly retired special ops soldier, looking to find his way in an unfamiliar civilian world. His first step is to visit an old friend, the owner of a bar called The Rabbit Hole on a distant space station. While there, he meets an intriguing woman who holds the keys to his future.

Adele has a special ability, handed down through her family. Adele can sometimes see the future. She doesn't know exactly why she's been drawn to the space station where her aunt deals cards in a bar that caters to station workers and ex-military. She only knows that she needs to be there. When she meets David, sparks of desire fly between them and she begins to suspect that he is part of the reason she traveled halfway across the galaxy.

Pirates gas the inhabitants of the station while Adele and David are safe inside a transport tube and it's up to them to repel the invaders. Passion flares while they wait for the right moment to overcome the alien threat and retake the station. But what good can one retired soldier and a civilian do against a ship full of alien pirates?

Note: This novella was previously available in an anthology titled Fortune's Fool, which is now out of print.

Editorial Reviews

Serena Polheber
"The continuation of a universe that began in Sons of Amber: Ezekiel, Arcana: King of Swords gives us a different look. With aliens intent on destruction and intrigue on the station, Ms. D'Arc still takes the time to craft a wonderful romance and hint at another. The characters in this story are all true representations of people you would love to meet and get to know."
Sunni Farrar
"...fast-paced and action packed. Not to mention the characters were well crafted and likable."

Meet the Author

EPPIE Award winner, Bianca D'Arc, has run a laboratory, climbed the corporate ladder in the shark-infested streets of lower Manhattan, studied and taught martial arts, and earned the right to put a whole bunch of letters after her name, but she’s always enjoyed writing more than any of her other pursuits. She grew up and still lives on Long Island, where she keeps busy with an extensive garden, several aquariums full of very demanding fish, and writing her favorite genres of paranormal, fantasy and sci-fi romance.
