BLURB
Semele Cohen appraises antiquities for an exclusive Manhattan
auction house, specializing in deciphering ancient texts. And when she discovers
a manuscript written in the time of Cleopatra, she knows it will be the find of
her career. Its author tells the story of a priceless tarot deck, now lost to
history, but as Semele delves further she realizes the manuscript is more than
it seems. Both a memoir and a prophecy, it appears to be the work of a powerful
seer, describing devastating wars and natural disasters in detail thousands of
years before they occurred. The more she reads, the more the manuscript begins
to affect Semele's life. But what happened to the cards? As the mystery of her
connection to the manuscript deepens, Semele can’t shake the feeling that she’s
being followed. Only one person can help her make sense of it all: her client,
Theo Brossard. Yet Theo is arrogant and elusive, concealing secrets of his own,
and there’s more to Semele’s desire to speak with him than she would like to
admit. Can Semele even trust him? The auction date is swiftly approaching, and
someone wants to interfere—someone who knows the cards exist, and that the
Brossard manuscript is tied to her. Semele realizes it’s up to her to stop
them: the manuscript holds the key to a two-thousand-year-old secret, a secret
someone will do anything to possess.
