It’s a curse.” Since my parents’ deaths, I’ve done my best to fly under the magickal radar, just like they always wanted. But when a rogue mage sets me up for murder, securing my freedom means making a deal with the world’s most powerful witches: Arcana Academy of the Arts. Two decades ago, they branded my mother a heretic. Now, the Academy believes Mom’s cryptic old Tarot prophecies hold the key to stopping unspeakable horrors—and they need me to decipher them. To betray my mother’s memory… or rot in prison. My choice. Spoiler alert: Your girl’s going to magick school. To a forbidden world of potions, prophecies, parties… not to mention brutal classes, a mean-girl coven that puts the psycho in psychic, and four infuriating mages: Kirin, my sexy, brainy research assistant. Baz, whose dangerous smolder could make the devil blush. Ansel, the adventurous golden boy. Dr. Devane, the naughty professor who makes me long for a spanking. The scoundrels insist they’re Team Stevie, but I don’t need divination lessons to know they’re hiding something. And if I’m right about Mom’s prophecies, well… Ever see the Tower card? Fire, brimstone, everybody screaming? Downright party compared to the chaos headed our way. So grab your grimoires, girls. It’s time to witch up… or die trying. SPELLS OF IRON AND BONE is the first book in the Tarot Academy series, a university-aged reverse harem academy romance featuring Sarah Piper’s signature blend of Tarot, magick, heart-pounding supernatural suspense, and a badass witch who always gets what she wants, especially when it comes to her men… Scroll up and one-click to start your Tarot Academy adventure now! less

No one said it would be easy. No one promised we’d escape unscathed.  When Baz, Kirin, and I ventured into the dream realm in search of the sacred Arcana objects, we had no idea what the Dark Arcana had in store for us. No idea that our darkest, most deeply-hidden terrors would follow us back home. Now, Baz is haunted by monsters from the past none of us can see, let alone defeat. Kirin is wrestling with a heartbreaking accident that fractured his family a decade ago... moreNo one said it would be easy.

The Dark Arcana have marked us. If anyone with a crystal ball and a halfway decent deck of Tarot cards ever predicted I’d be sharing a gorgeous house with four insanely-hot mages and the best witch-sisters a girl could ask for, I would’ve called it a dream. The reality is a nightmare. The mages and witches in this house? We’re fugitives, forced into hiding by magickal fanatics bent on stealing our power and burning the world to the ground... moreThe Dark Arcana have marked us. If anyone with a crystal ball and a halfway decent deck of Tarot cards ever predicted I’d be sharing a gorgeous house with four insanely-hot mages and the best witch-sisters a girl could ask for, I would’ve called it a dream.

And all around us, the world smolders—a horrifying preview of what’s to come.The mages I love and the fierce, kickass witches standing by our side? All we can do is prepare… and hope.
