-
From the bestselling author of The Witches of Vardø comes The Tarot Reader of Versailles, Anya Bergman’s new book—an epic tale of fate, free will, love, and betrayal set against the backdrop of the French Revolution.
Marie Anne Adelaide Lenormand, the infamous Tarot Reader of Versailles, possesses a rare and mysterious power. Through her tarot cards, she can communicate with the dead, and her abilities attract both revolutionaries and the aristocracy. Though she remains loyal to Marie Antoinette and the dauphin of France, she has foreseen the queen’s tragic fate in the cards and knows she must tread carefully to avoid a similar destiny.
One day, Marie meets Cait, a spirited scullery maid from Ireland who has come to Paris for love. Like Lenormand, Cait possesses unique powers: while Lenormand can read the future, Cait can see into people’s pasts. The two young women are instantly drawn to each other’s gifts. Yet Cait hides a secret—her love for Lenormand is deep, but her loyalty to freedom and her homeland runs deeper. She dreams of bringing revolution to the shores of Ireland, and must decide who or what she will betray to achieve that vision.
Set amid the turbulence of the French Revolution and Ireland’s Great Rebellion, The Tarot Reader of Versailles blends dark folklore with tarot mysticism to create a captivating tale where fate and free will collide. Loyalties and romances hang in the balance, and the turn of a card may determine both friendship and betrayal.
