From the award-winning author of The Memory Painter, comes a sweeping and suspenseful tale of fate and fortune
Gwendolyn Womack's first novel, The Memory Painter, was an RWA PRISM award winner in the Time Travel/Steampunk category and a finalist for Best First Novel. She resides in Los Angeles with her husband and her son.
"Another tale by Womack that can't be put down. Superb
storytelling. Rounded characters. Stakes worth killing--or
dying--for. This is summer reading for every season."--New York
Journal of Books
"A heart-pounding page-turner...Womack is the Dan Brown for the
tarot world. The Fortune Teller is a luscious and enchanting read.
I highly recommend [it]."--Benebell Wen, author of Holistic Tarot
and The Tao of Craft
"Even better than [The Memory Painter]...This is a fascinating
story, one that keep you in suspense until the end."--The
Oklahoman
"Beginning as a clever mystery based on an ancient manuscript and
evolving into a family epic spanning centuries, an international
thriller, and a destined romance, The Fortune Teller has something
for everyone. Offer it to fans of A.S. Byatt's Possession and
Lauren Willig's Pink Carnation series."--Booklist "Traveling around
the world and across many lifetimes, this ambitious historical
romance makes it clear that Womack has done some extensive
research. Fans of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series may become
swept up in this labyrinthine tale."--Library Journal "Womack
alternates back and forth between a whirlwind history that spans
thousands of years and the suspense of Semele's
search...Entertaining."--Kirkus Reviews
"With considerable attention to historical detail, Womack gives the
readers windows into life in ancient Gundeshapur, Renaissance-era
Milan and Paris, and revolutionary Russia....the journey is
delightful."--Publishers Weekly "I was completely enthralled...This
is a great novel and a pitch-perfect summer read. Those of you with
an inclination toward metaphysical romance novels (was there ever
such a thing?): this book is for you. Pack it in your beach bag and
dive right in!"--TarotbyHilary "The Fortune Teller is a gripping,
twisting tale that spans thousands of years, thousands of miles,
and perhaps even crosses over to the 'other side.' A fascinating
read that is that unlikely combination of unputdownable and
thought-provoking."--B.A. Shapiro, bestselling author of The Art
Forger and The Muralist "There aren't enough words to adequately
describe how much I love The Fortune Teller. It is a gripping and
masterfully woven combination of history, mystery, fate, adventure,
and family ties: a true page-turner that enthralls from the first
sentence with unique characters, fascinating settings, and
intriguing artifacts. Womack brilliantly illuminates how there is
more at play in the world than logic can explain."--Kelli Estes,
USA Today bestselling author of The Girl Who Wrote in Silk "The
Fortune Teller takes you on an international thrill ride across
centuries--with fascinating research and memorable
characters--proving once again that Gwendolyn Womack is a magician,
keeping readers turning pages with wonder and awe."--M.J. Rose, New
York Times bestselling author
"What a mesmerizing journey. The suspense increases steadily
throughout the novel, as Semele realizes her identity is caught up
in the mysterious manuscript and that the truth of her own
abilities is a secret people will kill for. Readers who enjoy the
novels of Katherine Neville, Kate Mosse and Diana Gabaldon will
savor this treat."--Nancy Bilyeau, author of The Crown
