From the jacket: When Ann Stilwell arrives in New York City, she expects to spend her summer working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Instead, she finds herself assigned to The Cloisters, a Gothic museum and garden renowned for its collection of medieval art and its enigmatic researchers: Patrick Roland, the charismatic curator specializing in the history of tarot; Rachel Mondray, Patrick’s brilliant curatorial associate; and Leo Bitburg, the gardener charged with cultivating the museum’s poisonous plants.
Eager to escape her troubled past in rural Washington, Ann is happy to indulge the researchers’ more outlandish theories, only to find that their fascination with ancient divination runs deeper than academic obsession. Patrick is determined to prove that medieval tarot holds the key to accurately telling the future. When Ann discovers a breakthrough in the form of a cryptic deck of fifteenth-century tarot cards, she finds herself at the center of a dangerous game of power, seduction, and ambition. As their circle reaches its breaking point, Ann must decide if the tarot cards can teach her not only about the past but also about her future.
