With the intention of working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the summer, Ann Stilwell travels to New York City. Rather, she is tasked with overseeing The Cloisters, a gothic museum and park that is well-known for its assortment of Renaissance and medieval artwork.
There, she finds herself attracted into a close-knit group of fascinating but mysterious scholars, each with their own secrets and aspirations. Among them is Patrick Roland, the director of the museum, who is certain that the Tarot's past contains the key to unlocking modern fortune reading.
Ann is glad to have moved on from her difficult past and is eager to win over her new coworkers. She is also more than willing to entertain some of Patrick's more bizarre notions. However, Ann finds herself at the center of a risky game of power, poisonous friendship, and ambition when she unearths a strange, previously believed-lost deck of 15th-century Italian tarot cards.
Ann is forced to consider if she can really defy the cards and take control of her own destiny as the game being played within the Cloisters gets out of hand.
Combining the contemporary with the mysterious, The Cloisters is a vividly narrated story of obsession and the violent quest for dominance.
