Travel back in time and experience the industry and opulence of Queen Victoria's reign, a time when the sun never set on the British Empire. Featuring the exquisite steel and wood engravings of the late Victorian era, the Victoria Regina Tarot captures the essence of Britain's golden age.

Artist and deck creator Sarah Ovenall used original engravings from nineteenth-century commercial illustrations to create the unique collage art of the Victoria Regina Tarot. The result is a Tarot that is both nostalgic and modern. The court cards depict prominent Victorians, while the traditional Tarot suit symbols have been replaced with symbols of the Victorian age: cups become Mason jars, wands are fountain pens, coins are pocket watches, and swords become guns.

This boxed Tarot kit includes 78 black-and-white cards, a 288-page illustrated guidebook, and a luxurious black velvet Tarot bag.

Murder doesn’t get more peculiar than this. A lonely hearts killer is targeting middle-aged women at some of England’s most well-known pubs.

What do the Knights Templars, the secret history of English pubs, and the discovery of an astounding religious relic have to do with this recent crime spree? More important, do the Peculiar Crimes Unit’s two living legends have enough life left in them to stop a murderous conspiracy…and a deadly cupid targeting one of their own?
