What do biological weapons and playing cards have in common?
Usually, not much. But in A. D. Pollard's thrilling new novel, Aces to Kings, a deck of cards may be all that stands in the way of humanity's destruction. Well, cards and the determination of three best friends.
Terrence, Charlotte, and Nick are living pretty normal, albeit a little boring, lives-until things get more exciting than they ever could have imagined: they uncover a plot to release a biological weapon made by an international megacorporation. Fortunately, they also discover a deck of playing cards with the ability to predict the future. Now they just need to figure out how to use them so they can save humanity...
Though Aces to Kings is full of subtle magic and unique abilities, it's grounded in reality: the complexity of human relationships, ethical dilemmas and moral uncertainties, corporate corruption, and, of course, friendship. The book's everyday magic is plausible; the true revelations come in the form of an authentic narrative and relatable characters who will move readers to consider, and maybe even reimagine, their own life choices and possibilities.
