      From the author of a New York Times bestselling novel comes a haunting tale of secrets, murder, and the occult set in both the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries in France. In 1891, young Léonie Vernier and her brother Anatole arrive in Rennes-les-Bains at their widowed aunt Isolde's mountain estate, Domain de la Cade. However, they soon discover that Isolde and the Domain are shrouded in mystery. Villagers whisper that Isolde's late husband died after summoning a demon from a Visigoth sepulchre nearby. A book from the Domain's extensive library details a tarot pack that vanished after his death. As Léonie investigates the Domain's ancient secrets, a different evil begins to threaten her family, revealing the true reason for their invitation to the ominous estate. Fast forward to the twenty-first century, where Meredith Martin, an American graduate student, arrives in France to study Claude Debussy. She checks into the Domain de la Cade, where an unsettling familiarity triggers strange dreams and visions. A chance encounter leads her to Léonie Vernier's tarot cards, which may hold the key to both her fate and that of Léonie over a century prior.
