The Fortune Teller: A Novel
Description
NOW A USA TODAY AND LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER From the award-winning author
of The Memory Painter comes a sweeping and suspenseful tale of romance, fate,
and fortune. Semele Cavnow appraises antiquities for an exclusive Manhattan
auction house, 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 tarot deck? As the mystery of
her connection to its story 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 Bossard. 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
Bossard 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. Read more
