Magician and Fool: Book One, Arcana Oracle Series by Susan Wands

Magician and Fool by Susan Wands opens the Arcana Oracle series with a fictional adventure centered on artist Pamela Colman Smith. In Victorian London, her developing tarot images become the focus of a struggle over magical power.

Actors Henry Irving and William Terriss inspire the Magician and Fool, while a fictionalized Aleister Crowley threatens Pamela and the people who serve as her muses. She must discover how to use her own abilities as the conflict grows.

This is a historical fantasy novel involving real historical names, not a biography of Smith or a factual account of the creation of tarot. Book One only; no deck is included in this listing. ISBN: 9781684631865.
