Fortunes Told

A Voyager's Guide to Life Between Worlds

Beschreibung

In the heart of London's Portobello Market lies a secret that could shatter his world for good. When Lukas discovers an old pack of Tarot cards in a store time forgot, he never could have imagined that a simple card reading would tear open the fabric between worlds. Reality fractures. London warps into Arcanum-a haunting mirror of the city he thought he knew, where buildings whisper secrets and friends become living archetypes. Everything seems familiar, but the air has changed... and everyone he once knew? They're different. That street performer? He's The Fool incarnate. The elegant woman in the black coat? The High Priestess herself. Welcome to a parallel London where every card he's drawn now walks amongst the living. With an ancient tortoise as his unlikely guide, Lukas navigates a world where shadows hunt and The Devil offers seductive power at a terrible price. As the boundaries between reality and magic blur, he may just discover that some doors, once opened, can never truly be closed.

Autor

David James is an imaginative storyteller who brings the same sense of wonder to his fiction that drives his creative studio, Adventures of the Persistently Impaired (...and Other Tales). Before diving into the world of writing, David spent nearly two decades in the music industry, working with major labels like Universal Music and EMI Records-an experience that infuses his stories with authentic cultural references and a pulse on what resonates with young readers.His journey as an author began unexpectedly through his Fortunes Told project, where he created unique Tarot-inspired designs that evolved into a narrative universe that young adults and adults alike could explore through both physical items and digital experiences. This blend of traditional storytelling and interactive elements reflects David's belief that the best stories exist both on and off the page.Known for characters who navigate life with neurodivergent perspectives, David draws subtle inspiration from his own experiences with ADHD. His writing features protagonists who turn their perceived differences into unexpected strengths, often discovering magical or technological solutions to everyday challenges.When not writing, David can be found experimenting with new technologies, developing creative tools to help other storytellers, or adding to his collection of vinyl records. His debut series launches June 19th and is available in hardback, paperback, and e-book formats from all major retailers.
