Arcana: The Lost Heirs by Author/Illustrator Sam Prentice-Jones
Feiwel & Friends, June 2024

Debut author/illustrator Sam Prentice-Jones explores fighting against destiny and reconciling the actions of ancestors in Arcana: The Lost Heirs, a tarot-inspired fantasy YA graphic novel.

James, Daphne, Koko, and Sonny have all grown up surrounded by magic in the Arcana, an organization of witches that protects the magical world, run by the mysterious and secretive Majors. Eli Jones, however, hadn’t even known other witches existed, until he stumbled into James. As James introduces him to the world of the Arcana, Eli finds the family he never had and a blossoming romance with James.

The five new friends soon realize that sinister influences are afoot, and everything may not be what it seems at the Arcana. When the group delves deeper into the mystery surrounding the deaths of their parents and the Majors’ rise to power, they discover that they’re at the center of a curse — one they’ve just unwittingly set into motion. As the friends search for answers, they’ll have to confront the cursed legacy that links them in hopes of freeing their futures.
