Paris, 1793. In the notorious Temple Prison, Marie Antoinette is having her cards read. What solace can the tarot give her now, in the midst of the French revolution, when outside her cell the crowd s baying for her blood?
Kate, a young Irishwoman whose fortunes have seen her travel from maid to sought-after reader in the court of Versailles, sees what is in the Queen of France's cards and knows what's in store for her. She must use all her wiles to ensure that Marie Antoinette's fate doesn't become her own.
But what turn of the Wheel of Fortune led a serving girl to become a queen's close confidante? And what forces - supernatural, mundane or otherwise - can help her protect an innocent child from a cruel and unjust fate?
