When a resurrection goes awry in a cold Seattle cemetery, mother-of-three Patricia Ramos-Waites finds herself possessed by the ghost of her sister’s dead lover. God forbid her only problem be sharing her body with Dead Marco. Yesterday Patricia’s only worries were her teenage son’s new deadbeat friends, and putting her kids through college; today she’s become the target of a Central American drug-smuggling gang who desperately want to get their hands on the ghost she’s hosting. On top of all this, Patricia is beginning to suspect that either Marco is an exceptionally powerful spirit, or she has ghost-handling abilities that haven’t been seen in centuries. Will Patricia be able to stay out of the crosshairs long enough to fix this botched resurrection?

Lasadi Cazinho knows there are harder people to rob than the head of Artemis City's biggest criminal organization -- but probably not many. Still, she's up the challenge--until a series of mysterious assassinations have her scrambling for her life. Raj and Lasadi may both be down on their luck. But as a series of near misses and close calls spin their futures into a collision course, that's about to change.

There are four aspects of the eternal spark: the numinous, the esoteric, the supernatural, and the weird. These are the ways that hope manifests. These are the ways we keep ourselves engaged. These are the ways by which we learn how to fight monsters. We stand with cup, shield, sword, and stick. This is the iconography of Arcana. These are the four quarters of the whole. These are the ways we heal, harbor, howl, and hum.\nThis, then, is the first deck of the Arcana: thirty-eight stories that celebrate these aspects. With contributions from Forrest Aguirre, Michael Barsa, Nathan Batchelor, Breanna Bright, Elou Carroll, Brandon Crilly, Sarah Day, Jetse de Vries, Eric Del Carlo, Louis Evans, Tori Fredrick, H. L.
