Description
Maggie Pacelli didn’t believe in love at first sight. But that all changed when she met Michael LeClaire, the new curator at the Beinecke Library at Yale. Michael is fascinated with the new tarot deck that Maggie is painting—and he also seems to be fascinated with Maggie. Maggie can’t believe how perfect he is for her—or how hard she’s falling for him.
When Michael shows Maggie the rare 15th century Visconti tarot cards in the Beinecke’s archives and reveals to her that The Devil is missing from every one of the surviving decks, Maggie is intrigued. The Devil is the one card she can’t decide how to paint. Perhaps she can find a clue to the missing Devils in Milan, where they originated. Michael accompanies her on her search to the Brera, where they meet Luca Arcangeli, a wealthy art collector who may hold the key.
But in Milan at the height of Carnevale, nothing and no one are what they seem—and Maggie will soon find herself at the center of a struggle between the forces of light and darkness that will challenge her beliefs and force her to choose the fate of her soul.
Advance Praise
“An engaging and atmospheric novel of love, adventure, and the darker side of the search for creative inspiration.” – Midwest Book Review
“Dimitra uses her knowledge of the tarot to set both the artistic and historic background of the story. Her imagery is tantalizing as she weaves the backdrops of Yale University’s art world and Milan’s Carnevale into a fascinating tale of a battle of wills and the strength of true love.” – RT Book Reviews
“The book ‘The Visconti Devils’ is a wonderful look into the Tarot and the forces of good and evil…I can’t wait to see what Ria comes up with next. I give this book a 5 because the characters and places were so real. I could step into the pages of the book. The world came alive and what was found was very unexpected and different from anything I’ve ever read.” – Night Owl Romance – rated a Top Pick
