This week, Jac and Amy sit down with bestselling fantasy romance author Elise Kova to dig into Prince of Swords, the highly anticipated sequel to Arcana Academy. The conversation covers the tarot-inspired magic system at the heart of the Arcana series, the emotional toll of writing Clara through two brutal book openings, and the deliberate (and not-so-deliberate) tension that keeps Clara and Kaelis apart despite their obvious pull toward each other.
Elise also opens up about the themes of fate versus free will driving the series, the lessons about trust and control that Clara learns along the way, and what she hopes readers take from the story without giving away any spoilers. The episode wraps with a look back at Elise's indie roots with Air Awakens and Married to Magic, and what's ahead as she brings those beloved series to a traditional publishing home.
Grab your birth chart and settle in. This one's for the tarot girlies and the enemies-to-lovers girlies alike.
