內容簡介

內容簡介 當好不容易揮別黑暗過去的語言學家安‧史提威爾抵達紐約，她預想夏天可以在大都會美術館拿到實習機會，但世事難預料，她最終被分配到修道院博物館(The Met Clositer)，充滿哥德式外觀與保有豐富中世紀收藏品的花園，一群研究者在這裡默默做著中世紀文物研究。館長派翠克羅蘭沉迷於中世紀神祕學，他的助手芮秋和安一樣剛畢業，正在協助館長籌劃一個神祕學展覽，雖然無法如願在大都會美術館上班，但安還是很高興能沉浸在歷史文物研究中，也投入展覽規劃的工作。安覺得館長和芮秋對神祕學過於熱衷，彷彿那些儀式和魔法不再只停留於研究。直到她發現一副15世紀的塔羅牌時，她開始變得執迷於這副塔羅牌，驚訝於牌卡能正確預知未來的能力，但她尚不知道，這副牌也會對她帶來前所未有的危機...A Today Show #ReadWithJenna Book Club PickThis instant New York Times bestseller that is “captivating in every sense of the word” (Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author) follows a group of researchers uncovering a mysterious deck of tarot cards and shocking secrets in New York’s famed Met Cloisters.When Ann Stilwell arrives in New York City, she expects to spend her summer working as a curatorial associate at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Instead, she finds herself assigned to The Cloisters, a gothic museum and garden renowned for its medieval art collection and its group of enigmatic researchers studying the history of divination.Desperate to escape her painful past, Ann is happy to indulge the researchers’ more outlandish theories about the history of fortune telling. But what begins as academic curiosity quickly turns into obsession when she discovers a hidden 15th-century deck of tarot cards that might hold the key to predicting the future. When the dangerous game of power, seduction, and ambition at The Cloisters turns deadly, Ann becomes locked in a race for answers as the line between the arcane and the modern blurs.A haunting and magical blend of genres, The Cloisters is a “masterwork of literary suspense that surges to an otherworldly conclusion” (Mark Prins, author of The Latinist).
