Winnipeg, 1940.
The wind doesn’t howl—it screams.
And this winter, the cards are speaking.

Frozen Arcana: The Assiniboine Deception is a chilling historical mystery made for lovers of Tarot, symbolism, and dark atmospheric storytelling. Set against a frozen city on the brink of change, this novel asks one haunting question:
What happens when the Tarot isn’t predicting the future—but documenting a crime?

New Year’s Eve, 1939.
As Winnipeg’s elite celebrate the arrival of a new decade, a powerful lawyer is discovered frozen beneath the Maryland Bridge. Left behind at the scene is a single Tarot card: The Fool—a symbol of beginnings, recklessness, and fate stepping off a cliff.

When another body surfaces, marked by The Tower, it becomes clear this is no coincidence. Each crime is a message. Each card, a warning.

Enter Detective Constable Gabriel O’Malley, a man caught between duty and doubt, order and intuition. To understand the meaning behind the cards, O’Malley must seek help where logic alone fails—forming an uneasy alliance with Olena Petrenko, a North End Tarot reader who understands the cards not as superstition, but as a language of truth, shadow, and human consequence.

As winter tightens its grip, the Tarot spread grows darker.
The killings follow a pattern
And the final card has yet to be revealed.

What begins as murder becomes something far more dangerous—a hidden design rooted in power, escape, and justice denied. With the city buried in snow and time running out, O’Malley must decide whether the law is enough… or if true justice demands a different kind of balance.

The cards have been dealt.
The truth is frozen beneath the ice.
