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. Only one person can help her make sense of it all: her client, Theo Bossard. 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. The more she reads, the more the manuscript begins to affect Semele’s life. 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. 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. 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. I had enjoyed her first book, The Memory Painter. The publisher sent me a copy at no charge for my honest opinion. I was very excited to be contacted by author Gwendolyn Womack to review her latest book, The Fortune Teller.
