Description

In The Cursed Fate, a tarot-inspired young adult graphic novel from creator Sam Prentice-Jones, five friends must break a generational curse in order to free their futures.

After uncovering harrowing secrets about their pasts and enduring a devastating loss, James, Daphne, Koko, Sunny, and Eli are determined to break the bonds of the ancestral curse that holds their futures in limbo. Confronting the secretive Majors leads to a vital revelation: a group of rebel witches known as the New Moon Order was responsible for casting the curse, and the Majors are not quite as all-powerful as they seem.

With the might of the Majors now on their side, the group sets out to undo the curse, once and for all, returning to the place where everything began: the seemingly abandoned farm house where Eli first began exploring his magic. The five friends must face their ghosts, both real and imagined, in this compelling examination of generational trauma, power, and what it means to craft a family of your own making.

Arcana: The Cursed Fate is book two in the Arcana duology.

The second graphic novel in the Arcana series was just as good as the first! All of the characters grow in such lovely and loving ways. I truly enjoyed the artistic element of the book from the character designs to the color choices.

I love nothing more than sinking into a completed duology.

This was fast paced and I felt like it was such a good wrap up for this duology. I absolutely love the art style, it is so visually striking. I love the queer joy, found family, and breaking intergenerational cycles of trauma and prejudice. I found the story to be compelling and heartwarming.
