Behind the Cards: The Characters of Rogue Gods

The Chronicles of the Rogue Gods section of the website has a new look!

I recently updated the character profiles with tarot-inspired character cards for the major figures in the series, including Aria, Talia, Kira, Theron, Phoebe, Craig, Hunter, Theseus, Kieran, Dax, and Zephron.

This direction felt right for the series because Rogue Gods has always been about more than divine bloodlines and dangerous romance. It is about fate, inheritance, power, transformation, desire, prophecy, and the way old myths keep reaching into new lives.

Each card is designed to reflect the character’s role in the series.

Aria’s card draws from the mystery and threshold energy of the High Priestess, shaped by her connection to Poseidon and Athena.

Talia’s card leans into Death, not as an ending, but as transformation, descent, beauty, and the cost of becoming.

Kira’s card echoes Temperance, tying her forge work, fate-thread, craft, and divine inheritance into the idea of balance through creation.

Theron and Phoebe draw from the Tower, because some characters do not enter a story quietly. They bring rupture, revelation, and the kind of divine pressure that cracks weak foundations.

The other cards follow their own symbolic paths: blades, visions, kingship, sacrifice, dreamwork, and the different ways mortal and immortal characters become entangled in the courts of the gods.

I wanted these images to feel less like glossy fantasy portraits and more like artifacts from the world itself. Something symbolic. Something mythic. Something that feels like it belongs beside dangerous courts, old gods, romance with teeth, and women who refuse to be decorative pieces in someone else’s story.

These tarot-style character cards will also be made available as stickers later on. I like the idea of turning pieces of the world into small physical objects readers can collect, keep, or use as little portals back into the series.

For now, the updated character section is live on the Chronicles of the Rogue Gods page.

If you are new to the series, start with The Court of Crimson Tides, then continue into The Court of the Stygian Veil. Book Three, The Court of the Initium Forge, is coming next.

The gods were never meant to be safe.

Neither were their daughters.
