She can see the future, but can she change it?
It is the early days of the French Revolution and, on the streets of Paris, terror reigns.
Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand is a young woman with an extraordinary power – through her tarot cards, she can commune with the dead. Her reputation is such that revolutionaries and the aristocracy alike seek her out to divine their fortunes, but she is loyal to Marie Antoinette and the dauphin of France. But Lenormand has seen the queen”s fate in the cards, and must take care that it doesn”t become her own.
Then, one fateful day, she comes across Cait, a scullery maid from Ireland who has travelled to Paris for love. Cait has powers too – she can read people”s pastsas Lenormand reads their futures. The two young women have an instant connection, drawn to each other”s abilities. But Cait is hiding something from her new friend: as much as she loves Lenormand, she loves freedom and her country more. What will she do – and who will she betray – to bring revolution to the shores of Ireland?
Set against the background of the French Revolution and the Great Rebellion in Ireland and entwining dark folklore with tarot mysticism, this is a novel of fate and free will, where allegiances and romances can be forged or broken by the turn of a card.
