#PosterPit #Q #FT #A 🔮Tarot, 🎭trickery, and… 💰taxes? An unemployed witch with a history of robbing criminals joins forces with a clumsy yet handsome Overlord to stage a series of outlandish heists and a daring coup
Nefarious Enterprises. A poster with three fake tarot cards, The Overlord has a man with a cane, The Thief is a witch robbing a warded safe, and The Tyrant has the Snow Queen surrounded by snowflakes and money. Text inside says: The cards tell a story… about a witch who’s just trying to pay the bills. Additional text says low-key evil doers, magical hijinks and hijackings, and workplace romance. 85,000 words retelling the classic, The Snow Queen, but with The Nightmare Before Christmas stolen holiday spin.
