So, today’s post is dedicated to an event that I’m taking part in and wanted to share with you all.  Basically, the nature of this event is to share the book love for a series known as the  Tarot Sequence, by KD Edwards.  I absolutely loved the first book in the series, The Last Sun, and can’t wait to read the sequel The Hanged Man which is due out on 17th December.

Why am I taking part in this.  Well, I had a great time reading The Last Sun and, selfishly, I want everyone else to read it too so they can discuss it with me!  On a serious note, I love to help spread the word about a good book and events like this are a two way street.  They allow me to connect with others at the same time as helping others to connect with the book and the author. Simples.

The nature of the event and the details can all be found here  and here – and believe me these two are much better explanations than I could have come up with.  If you want to take part (and of course you really do because people – there are quests – yes, actual QUESTS), well, it’s never too late – unless it really is too late and the event is over – don’t leave it THAT late.  And, if you do want to take part – well I strongly suggest you join Team Tower – which is my team – I just love company.  And, I’m using my Jedi mind tricks on you right now – *the others are not the teams you want to join”.  Failing that I will give you some serious stink eye – and nobody wants that

Of course, if you don’t want to join a team and prefer to watch from the sidelines that’s all good too.  If you like to follow Twitter we’re using #ScionsOfAtlantis.

I’m not a tarot aficionado but here’s a little about the Tower (aka ‘the best team’ ahem, just saying):

The Tower is the 16th trump or Major Arcana card.  It’s meaning is all tied up with fire, lightning and destruction which really doesn’t sound very positive – but, before you run for the hills – it’s a card that also represents change.  Change can be scary but it can also lead to positive things.  Maybe I’ve shortened that a little bit but I didn’t want anybody having nightmares (kidding of course).

And here are the books.  Because we’re all about the books after all (wouldn’t want your tbr to become manageable or anything outrageous like that):

The Last Sun (for which I will be revamping and reposting my review soon):

Rune Saint John, last child of the fallen Sun Court, is hired to search for Lady Judgment’s missing son, Addam, on New Atlantis, the island city where the Atlanteans moved after ordinary humans destroyed their original home.

With his companion and bodyguard, Brand, he questions Addam’s relatives and business contacts through the highest ranks of the nobles of New Atlantis. But as they investigate, they uncover more than a missing man: a legendary creature connected to the secret of the massacre of Rune’s Court.

In looking for Addam, can Rune find the truth behind his family’s death and the torments of his past?

The Hanged Man:

The last member of a murdered House tries to protect his ward from forced marriage to a monster while uncovering clues to his own past.

The Tarot Sequence imagines a modern-day Atlantis off the coast of Massachusetts, governed by powerful Courts based on the traditional Tarot deck.

Rune Saint John, last child of the fallen Sun Throne, is backed into a fight of high court magic and political appetites in a desperate bid to protect his ward, Max, from a forced marital alliance with the Hanged Man.

Rune’s resistance will take him to the island’s dankest corners, including a red light district made of moored ghost ships; a surreal skyscraper farm; and the floor of the ruling Convocation, where a gathering of Arcana will change Rune’s life forever.

Finally, a little introduction to my other Tower Team members (queue drum roll):
