FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE MEMORY PAINTER COMES A SWEEPING AND SUSPENSEFUL TALE OF ROMANCE, FATE, AND FORTUNE. 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.

Bryan Pierce é um renomado pintor cujos trabalhos deslumbram o mundo. Mas há um segredo para seu sucesso: cada tela é inspirada em um sonho excepcionalmente vívido. Sempre que acorda, ele adquire novas habilidades, como a capacidade de falar línguas obscuras ou ser um gênio no xadrez. Linz Jacobs é uma neurogeneticista brilhante, dedicada a decifrar os genes que ajudam o cérebro a criar memórias. Ao visitar uma exposição, ela se depara com a imagem de um pesadelo recorrente de sua infância em um dos quadros de Bryan. Linz localiza o artista, e o encontro dos dois desencadeia o sonho mais intenso do pintor: a visão de uma equipe de cientistas que, na iminência de descobrir a cura para o Alzheimer, morre em uma explosão no laboratório. Bryan fica obcecado pelas circunstâncias estranhas que cercam essas mortes, e aos poucos seus sonhos revelam o que aconteceu. Juntos, Bryan e Linz começam a perceber um padrão em seus sonhos e que há um inimigo mortal observando cada movimento deles, que não vai parar enquanto não atingir seu objetivo.
