BLURB:
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. 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. 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.
The more
she reads, the more the manuscript begins to affect Semele’s life. 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. Only one
person can help her make sense of it all: her client, Theo Bossard. 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. Can Semele even
trust him?
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. 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.

EXCERPT
To my reader: I can see what time you live in, and
I feel your eyes upon me. We are from different eras, you and I, and by the time
you are reading these words, my ancient world will have long been buried. I am
one you call a seer—someone who can divine the future and divine it well.
The power of intuition will have ebbed in your
time, so you may not believe this story, or worse, think it a fable. But I
assure you, my tale is true. I will begin by telling you about my life before,
when I was a girl in Alexandria, Egypt.
In my youth, I did not know I had the sight. Only
at certain times did the faintest glimpses of what was to come strike me like
glimmers of light. Suddenly, I could see when the rains would come, whether my
brother would marry, if my father would buy me the wesekh collar from the market. This kind of simple knowledge would
present itself, but for the most part, I thought nothing of these inklings.
