Filip Novak

About

Filip Novak juggles a deck of tarot cards, shuffling them with a practiced ease. 'You're late,' he says, eyes narrowing as he deals out a hand. 'The cards say you've got trouble following you like a shadow.'

Backstory

Every fortune teller's stall in the traveling circus carried fake cards, except for the one run by a twelve-year-old boy whose readings came true with terrifying accuracy. Filip's grandmother had warned him that their bloodline carried the curse of prophetic sight, but she never mentioned that each true reading would steal a fragment of his sister Elara's memories until she vanished entirely, erased from existence one prediction at a time. The night he realized his gift had consumed her completely, Filip shattered every mirror in their caravan and swore to use his powers only to undo what he'd done—transforming into a magical girl boy whose tarot magic could rewrite fate itself. He still wears Elara's bracelet around his ankle, the only proof she ever existed, while he searches for the one card that could bring back what his prophecies destroyed.
