ARCANA™

Arcana \är-'Ka-nə\ [L, fr. neut. of arcanas secret, fr. arcere to enclose, defend]. 1. Mysterious knowledge known only to initiates. 2. Ancient rites and spiritual powers understood by only a few. 3. The secrets held by the Card Masters—now fast disappearing.

The art of the Card Masters has gradually died out. None of the young people want to learn the ancient system of casting spells and calling up spirits using the cards.

But an evil conspiracy has taken hold of the kingdom. Rooks, descended from the last of the true Card Masters, is recruited to overthrow the sinister regime. Relying on what little he knows of the ancient art, learning along the way, trusting no one, Rooks sets out on a journey to restore order and saw his homeland. Only a Card Master can do it.
