Seven Tarot Card Stud

 The powers that be which secretly guide world events, The Scarlet Circle, are handing out cards that are altering reality into an old world order of their design. Witch Hunter has to save an artist whose hand altered some of those cards, and, in so doing, reality, into a form that is not to The Scarlet Circle's liking.

People don't believe in magic anymore, so that magic is being stolen from them...secretly. Forged in the flames of the 1692 witch hunts, Witch Hunter is resurrected 300 years after being burned at the stake, at the dawn of a new world order rooted in the old world. Witch Hunter fights the powers that be, a secret cult known as           The Scarlet Circle, who point the finger of blame at everyone else as a distraction to steal all the magic for themselves. Witch Hunter hunts the hunters. Opposing the darkness without being darkened by it, Witch Hunter journeys through this thrill-packed, ongoing adventure with a sharp wit and a sharper knife, in stories laced with irreverence and lots of action!
