Clara Graysword has survived the underworld of Eclipse City through thievery, luck, and a whole lot of illegal magic. After a job gone awry, Clara is sentenced to a lifetime in prison for inking tarot cards – a rare power reserved for practitioners at the elite Arcana Academy. Just when it seems her luck has run dry, the academy’s enigmatic headmaster, Prince Kaelis, offers her an escape – for a price. Kaelis believes that Clara is the perfect tool to help him steal a tarot card from the king and use it to re-create an all-powerful card long lost to time. In order to conceal her identity and keep her close, Kaelis brings Clara to Arcana Academy, introducing her as the newest first-year student and his bride-to-be.

In a busy maternity ward, first-time father Dan meets Jada, a dad welcoming his sixth child into the world. Dan & Jada come from very different places: both called Glasgow. Dan is a successful TV writer with a townhouse in the West End & a shiny Tesla ready to drive his wife & baby home. Jada is a hustling, small-time criminal who is already planning how to separate Dan from some of the luxuries Jada has never been able to enjoy in his tiny flat in a council block. Both men find that the birth of their sons has fired their ambitions. Dan plans to walk away from his saccharine TV success & finally knuckle down to writing that novel he always felt he had in him. While, for Jada, it’s the opportunity for one last get-rich-quick scheme – ripping off a local airport. When a tragedy occurs, their worlds are brought closer than either could ever have imagined – close enough that it could mean destruction for both of them.

When she first encounters the vampire in a cemetery, something ignites within the two women – and they cross a threshold from which there’s no turning back.
