It's 1920s New York City. It's flappers and Follies, jazz and gin.
It's after the war but before the depression. And for certain group
of bright young things it's the opportunity to party like never
before. For Evie O'Neill, it's escape. She's never fit in in small
town Ohio and when she causes yet another scandal, she's shipped
off to stay with an uncle in the big city. But far from being
exile, this is exactly what she's always wanted: the chance to show
how thoroughly modern and incredibly daring she can be. But New
York City isn't about just jazz babies and follies girls. It has a
darker side. Young women are being murdered across the city. And
these aren't crimes of passion. They're gruesome. They're planned.
They bear a strange resemblance to an obscure group of tarot cards.
And the New York City police can't solve them alone. Evie wasn't
just escaping the stifling life of Ohio, she was running from the
knowledge of what she could do. She has a secret. A mysterious
power that could help catch the killer - if he doesn't catch her
first.
After a supernatural showdown with a serial killer, Evie O'Neill
has outed herself as a Diviner. Now that the world knows of her
ability to 'read' objects, and therefore, read the past, she has
become a media darling, earning the title, 'America's Sweetheart
Seer'. But not everyone is so accepting of the Diviners' abilities
. . . Meanwhile, mysterious deaths have been turning up in the
city, victims of an unknown sleeping sickness. Can the Diviners
descend into the dreamworld and catch a killer?
"Do you believe there are ghosts and demons and Diviners among
us?""

caught between two worlds. A chorus girl named Theta is running
from her past. A student named Jericho hides a shocking secret. And
unknown to all, something dark and evil has awakened....

balance in their struggle for peace. Sarah Beth says she knows how
to stop the King of Crows-but, she will need the Diviners' help to
do it. Elsewhere, Jericho has returned after his escape from Jake
Marlowe's estate, where he has learned the shocking truth behind
the King of Crow's plans. Now, the Diviners must travel to
