A riveting fantasy, an adventure story, a poignant tale of love and heroism and friendship, A Deck of Cards is a novel by acclaimed author Daniel Kelley.

While playing a game of Speed in their family room, 19-year-old Alyssa Lewis and her 5-year-old sister Sammy witness the appearance of a man who claims to be the Jack of Diamonds. As implausible as this seems, several others - the acerbic Queen of Spades, the seductive Jack of Clubs, and the somewhat slow King of Diamonds among them, follow the Jack's manifestation.

Alyssa and her best friend Mags find themselves fascinated by nearly every aspect of the cards' lives, both in and out of the deck. And as they pursue explanations while getting to know them, intrigues abound. The Jacks of Hearts and Spades use chicanery and guile in an attempt to acquire life for themselves. The Jack of Clubs enters a relationship with Alyssa's friend Tonya that can't possible survive the few days of life the cards are allotted every decade or so. Alyssa and Mags find themselves exploring their own tangled past in their search for what the future will hold.

Mysteries come alive, and enticing secrets are revealed. And Alyssa learns more about who she truly is than she thought possible.

A Deck of Cards is a tantalizing story, an enchanting narrative. Kelley's works are known for their phenomenally real characters and scenarios, and A Deck of Cards is yet another masterpiece. Brilliantly written and laced with rich humor, this 72,000-word novel is the ideal companion for a quiet evening, a day at the beach, or pretty much anywhere.
