FALLING NIGHT AND RISING DAY

Book excerpt: For hundreds of years, fortune tellers and commoners alike have used tarot cards as tools to predict the future. Rife with symbols of divine beings and the power of the stars, an air of mystery and superstition has long surrounded these elaborately crafted decks. When the past and the future melt together in a chaotic mind, however, they can be the only path out of a place where reality clashes with fantasies and nightmares alike. A modern day oracle, fearing the rapid approach of madness within her unquiet thoughts, dives into Olympian dreamscapes and psychological battlegrounds in a journal that serves as a road map through insanity. When she is engulfed in the darkness of the suit of swords, however, the only light to be found is fire.
