arrives in New York City, hoping to spend her summer working at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Instead, she is assigned to The
Cloisters, a gothic museum and garden renowned for its medieval and
Renaissance collections. There she is drawn into a small circle of
charismatic but enigmatic researchers, each with their own secrets and
desires, including the museum’s curator, Patrick Roland, who is
convinced that the history of Tarot holds the key to unlocking
contemporary fortune telling. Relieved to have left her troubled past
behind and eager for the approval of her new colleagues, Ann is only too
happy to indulge some of Patrick’s more outlandish theories.
But when Ann discovers a mysterious, once-thought lost deck of
15th-century Italian tarot cards she suddenly finds herself at the
centre of a dangerous game of power, toxic friendship and ambition.
And as the game being played within the Cloisters spirals out of
control, Ann must decide whether she is truly able to defy the cards and
shape her own future . .
