The Deck of the Numinon
A Tales of Terranovae Novel
by GJ Scherzinger
Genre: Fantasy
Full Color Illustrations
With a turn of the cards, a Stone Giant breaks loose from the Granite Mountains, leaving a path of destruction through the Regency of the Stands. The fabled guard towers of Safrasco are destroyed by a sorcerous griffin, the threat of war rising in its wake. Captain Ferriman turns to a blind herb trader named Cerra Meadows in the hopes she can help him navigate the sorcerous paths that threaten the peace of the Empire.
The Cards are drawn, the cast put into play. The Deck is ruled by the majics that created it. Events take on a life of their own, reliant on the strengths and motivations of the players whose avatars are determined by the draw. The Queen of Quills represents qualities that Cerra must embrace in order to discover the identity of the Seer and locate the Cards before her world runs out of Time.
Greg Scherzinger spent the bulk of his career as a TV Producer and Director, and skiing as much as possible in the Western mountains and the Alps, before leaving the broadcast business and spending the next 13 years living on a 41′ yawl in NW Washington. He has sailed the Inside Passage, the Gulf of Mexico and the Bahamas. The author’s newest book, “The Henna Witch”, along with “The Wizard of Grimmer’s Wharf”, was written after he moved to a small farm in the coastal hills of his native Oregon. “The House on Chambers Court” was penned while living in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur in Mexico. He wrote his first book, “Demon of the Black Gate” while residing in the San Juan Islands.

Sounds like an interesting story. I am interested in tarot cards.
I think you’ll definitely enjoy the story. The relationship that the people involved have with the cards makes for an interesting premise, though the real joy is the lead character, Cerra. You’ll like the illustrations too, 13 different cards are illustrated. If you’re on Facebook, look at my page GJ Scherzinger for other artwork, essays and excerpts from the book. Thank you for your comment.
I think you’ll enjoy the fortune deck references as well as the premise. btw, there is a small appendix in the back of the book with expanded Tarot references. The book has 13 illustrations of different cards. There are sample cards available with the book on the Blue Rune website. I hope you’ll take a look at my FB page if you’re on: GJ Scherzinger.

I meditate using the tarot, and I would enjoy reading this book. Also, more of the Tales of Terranovae.
I believe you’ll enjoy the premise of the book, and especially Cerra, the blind woman. Because the reader’s interaction with her involves the other senses besides sight, it adds to the depth of her character. There are 13 original illustrations inside the book. At the Blue Rune publishing site, there is an offer for signed copies which includes 3 cards. You can see more of them represented on my Facebook page: GJ Scherzinger. ‘Like’ something so I know you’ve been by. Thanks for your comment.

I’m glad you enjoy the cover. The artwork by Bluebird is amazing and a real plus for the book. I hope you read the story of Cerra, the blind woman, who gets caught up in the tale.
