Inside, the tower groans, the suspects lie, and every floor seems to hide something darker than the one below.The Tower is the sixteenth card of the Major Arcana, a warning of sudden upheaval, shattered illusions, and structures built on foundations that can no longer hold. Before this night is over, Alex will discover things that have been trembling for decades, one final jolt away from collapse.Enter The Trembling Tower, the second case in The Sturmgarten Arcana, a modern noir short mystery series where murder, tarot, and San Francisco vice are always in the cards.
