The Tarot Sequence

The Last Sun (The Tarot Sequence, #1) by K.D. Edwards follows Rune Saint John, the final heir of the fallen Sun Court, as he searches for Lady Judgment’s missing son, Addam, in the island city of New Atlantis. Accompanied by his bodyguard Brand, Rune navigates the complex social and political landscape of Atlantean nobility while uncovering a deeper mystery involving a legendary creature tied to his family’s tragic past. This urban fantasy blends elements of magic, mystery, and queer romance within a richly imagined setting.

The Sunken Mall by K.D. Edwards is a queer urban fantasy novella set after the events of The Last Sun, following Rune and Brand as they try to choose meaningful Equinox gifts for their ward, Max. Guided by teenage seer Quinn, the group enters the Worcester Galleria, a magically displaced shopping mall preserved in its early-1980s state. Supported by the Principality, Ciaran, and Rune’s new boyfriend, Addam, they soon discover that this relic of another era has developed its own strange agency. Blending modern magic, mythological politics, and a developing romance, the story focuses on found family under pressure and the dangers hidden inside an apparently routine errand.

The Hanged Man by K.D. Edwards continues The Tarot Sequence in a modern urban fantasy Atlantis, hidden off the Massachusetts coast and ruled by Arcana courts modeled on the Tarot. Rune Saint John, last surviving heir of the destroyed Sun Throne, is drawn into dangerous high magic and political maneuvering when his ward, Max, is targeted for a coerced marriage to the monstrous Hanged Man. As Rune resists this alliance, he navigates ghost-ship brothels, bizarre vertical farms, and the Convocation floor where the Arcana gather in preparation for war. The novel blends epic fantasy stakes, queer romance, and myth-infused mystery while forcing Rune to confront both external enemies and the buried truths of his own past.

The Hourglass Throne by K.D. Edwards continues the Tarot Sequence with Rune Saint John newly seated on the Sun Throne and struggling to master both its power and its politics. When an impenetrable magical barrier seals off New Atlantis’s renowned immortality clinic, Rune and his bodyguard Brand are ordered to uncover who raised it and why, even as they navigate court alliances, looming war, and the dangers surrounding Rune’s queer found family. As the investigation exposes an enemy tied to ancient powers and to Rune’s own traumatic past, time itself becomes a weapon in a conflict that threatens the city’s gods, monsters, and rulers alike. Blending urban fantasy, mystery, romance, and mythology, this volume concludes the series’ first major arc with escalating stakes and hard-won revelations.
