The Cloisters by Katy Hays

A summer internship at The Cloisters museum turns into a dangerous game of obsession when a long-lost 15th-century tarot deck is discovered.

Ann Stilwell arrives in New York for a summer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, only to be reassigned to The Cloisters—a gothic museum of medieval artifacts tucked away in Washington Heights. She expects a quiet summer of research, but she’s quickly drawn into a small, elite circle of scholars obsessed with the history of tarot and the art of divination. When Ann discovers a hidden 15th-century deck that may actually be able to predict the future, the research turns from academic to dangerous. As ambition turns into obsession and academic rivalry turns deadly, Ann must decide if she’s willing to play the game to the end. The Cloisters is a razor-sharp thriller about the thin line between fate and free will.
