Synopsis

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole introduces The Arcana Chronicles, post-apocalyptic tales filled with riveting action, the dark mysticism of Tarot cards, and breathtaking romance.

She could save the world—or destroy it.
Sixteen year old Evangeline “Evie” Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future—and they’re still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.
But she can’t do either alone.
With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can’t totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?
Who can Evie trust?
As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it’s not always clear who is on which side....

About this title

Review:

"The prose crackles with energy and interest, the content is on target in terms of current demand, and this could be the next Twilight."

"My brain is near exploding with how crazy good this story was... An exceptionally well written plot that will have you turning pages and sticking up a 'do not disturb' sign. You won't want to be interrupted. Especially when Jackson has his smexi Cajun mojo in full swing."

"Holy Mother of YA Goodness...did Kresley Cole write a book! I'm still getting the chills thinking about this 'Poison Princess!'... Jack Deveaux, [is] a swoon-worthy character if ever there was one."

"Kresley Cole knows how to capture an audience because I was gone from page one."

"Cole knows how to deliver romance, and in POISON PRINCESS, she shows that younger characters can fall just as hard--and they take their readers with them... POISON PRINCESS is a brilliant debut that will snare readers of all ages with its vivid post-apocalyptic world, engrossing romance, and novel magic based on Tarot cards. The next book in The Arcana Chronicles just shot to the top of my wishlist."

."..this may very well be the best and most original book that I have ever read."

"I love the sensual creativity that Kresley Cole delivers in her writing. Evie and Jack's electrifying connection is just to die for! Oh! and did I mention that Jack is the ultimate post-apocalyptic badass hero?"

"One of the most original YA debuts of the year that you just can't forget, "Poison Princess" is just one big book full of awesome."

"Disturbing, dark, dangerous, terrifying, heartbreaking, and AMAZING!"

"An electrifying mix of page-turning, post-apocalyptic adventure and sizzling romance. The Arcana Chronicles will blow you away!"--P.C. Cast
