While preparing for an upcoming auction from a client's personal collection in Switzerland, she discovers a rare and ancient manuscript. Semele Cavnow works for a prestigious New York auction house as an antique appraiser. Gwendolyn Womack has masterfully woven a compelling tale of mystery and secrets interlaced around major historical events through time and place, ranging from 46 BC Alexandria, Egypt to the present day New York. It spans over thousands of years covering several lifetimes and takes place across multiple countries crossing borders and oceans.
The Fortune Teller is an enchanting tale of ancient manuscripts and forgotten relics. 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. 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. 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.
