This is a short Prequel to Rise of the Ash Gods, a paranormal reverse harem series. Valentina has prepared for this all her life. She is ready. Just one test to pass, and she’ll finally become a Keeper of the Spades, and a proper member of her coven. Born a witch, sworn to protect the Mysteries of the Tarot, Val will not fail and will not disappoint her family. But something goes awfully wrong. When she gets lost in the intricate multi-dimensions of the Test, she loses control and gets thrown from one time-space to another. And that’s how she meets them. She doesn’t know who they are, but what she knows for sure is they are not just men. Ghosts? Angels, or demons? Gods? Fate is playing tricks on her… She only wants to pass the Test and serve her coven, not figure out why she was meant to meet nine strangers who seem just as confused as she is.

This was never supposed to happen. When Valentina's coven is attacked and she's the only survivor, she saves the Suit of Spades, which she is sworn to protect, and flees. Thank Goddess there's a solid protocol in place! All she needs to do is find the Major Arcana, and Keepers who are more powerful and experienced than her will take over from there and protect the Mysteries of the Tarot. Or not. What happens when half of the Major Arcana is destroyed? Valentina doesn't know. There are no protocols. No precedent. She's lost, but the good news is she's not alone. She can count of her best friend, Piper, a hobgoblin who decided to follow them, and now on this handsome, hot as sin guy who claims he's Loki himself, the God of Mischief. It could have been worse. Oh, wait! It's going to be. Because in order to save the Tarot, Valentina will soon have to deal with even more gods. And, it is known, gods are impossible to work with! Mainly, because they hate each other. One witch to convince nine powerful gods to play nice? Unlikely. Note from the author: This is a slow-burn reverse harem book. Although the next books in the series will be steamy and 18+, this one is quite tame. Hang in there! The steam is coming! Also, make sure to check out the Prequel - The Test, to meet Valentina's nine gods before she meets them for real in the series.

Two gods down, seven to go. Valentina is having the worst time of her life. On the run from an invisible enemy, she now has to track down the rest of the gods of the Major Arcana and convince them to help her save the Mysteries of the Tarot and the world. On top of that, she has to deal with her twin sister, Ravenna, the Curse of the Moon, and the two sinfully hot gods she’s managed to trap in her tarot cards – Loki and Veles. They both want her. She’s too far from home, her family and her coven are in danger, and the last thing she needs is two powerful beings to fight over her. Or even worse, four! When she accidentally runs into Jupiter, the God of the Sky, and his frenemy who calls himself Death, Valentina has to accept her fate. She’s the only one who can make the stubborn, arrogant, egotistical gods with too much power to yield work together. The solution? Give them what they want.

Never the kind of witch to work with deities, Valentina is getting rather good at it. She’s convinced four powerful gods to join her on her quest to save the Major Arcana and restore the Mysteries of the Tarot. She needs to track down at least four other gods, but that will have to wait. Family comes first. And her family has been possessed by creatures from another dimension. It’s up to her to exorcise the foreign entities. Except… she’s never performed an exorcism before… Add a broken time sensor on top of that, a curse as old as her witch lineage, and she’s got enough on her plate. And when it comes to Loki, Veles, Jupiter, and Nergal, Valentina can’t decide whether she’s made the right choice, or gotten herself in over her head. Only time will tell, but time is running out.
