Nur acht Motive, darunter die Liebenden, die Kraft, der Teufel - und die Gerechtigkeit. Als die junge Meredith auf der Suche nach den Wurzeln ihrer Herkunft durch Paris streift, stot sie auf ein seltenes und unvollstandiges Set Tarotkarten aus vergangener Zeit. Und eine der Karten tragt unverkennbar ihre eigenen Zuge Die verbluffende Ahnlichkeit verwirrt Meredith vollig. Zufall, schlielich kann der Zeichner sie nicht gekannt haben. Aber ist es auch Zufall, dass die Karten sie ebenso in den Suden Frankreichs fuhren wie die wenigen Familienerbstucke, die sie besitzt? Liegt etwa eine Botschaft in der Karte der Gerechtigkeit? Das zumindest glaubt Meredith, als sie feststellt, dass es eine Verbindung gibt zwischen dem Tarotset und dem, was sie uber ihre Familie herausfindet. Immer wieder taucht dabei der Name einer jungen Frau auf: Leonie Vernier. Sie entpuppt sich als die Zeichnerin der Karten. In ihren Bildern erzahlt sie die Geschichte ihres Bruders Anatole und seiner groen Liebe. Eine Liebe, die ein anderer unbedingt zerstoren will: Victor Constant. Und Leonie selbst ist es, die ihm, geblendet von seinem Charme, den Weg weist zu den Liebenden. Ihre Karten kennen die Wahrheit - und hundert Jahre spater droht sich die Vergangenheit zu wiederholen.
