The Reader's Retreat: The Cloisters by Katy Hays | Chai Tea & Dark Academia Thriller
Seeking a fresh start in New York City, twenty-two-year-old art history graduate Ann Stilwell secures a summer research assistantship at The Cloisters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art's medieval branch in Fort Tryon Park.
She is drawn into an insular circle of charismatic researchers led by curator Patrick Roland and heiress Rachel Mondray, who are obsessed with 15th-century tarot decks and divination. When an uncataloged 15th-century tarot deck surfaces, academic intrigue devolves into jealousy, power struggles, and murder.
Immerse yourself in medieval museum secrets with The Reader's Retreat. Brew a comforting cup of loose-leaf Full Moon Chai black tea using your stainless steel heart infuser. Use the "Gothic Romance" translucent tab palette to flag dark academic secrets and tarot clues.
