She’s not sure if she’s having a midlife crisis or getting a glimpse of the supernatural. But if she doesn’t find answers fast, her world will implode…

NYC. Vesta Beauvais doesn’t believe in fate. But when the thirty-nine-year-old CEO attends a lecture on enlightenment to please one of her luxury brand’s wealthy clients, she is stunned by the preternatural awareness it awakens. Driven by the experience to ensure she reincarnates as herself in the next life, the Louboutin-heeled fashionista travels to Egypt… and runs into an angry tarot reader who warns someone she loves is about to die.

Skeptical but unwilling to tempt disaster, Vesta follows the fortuneteller’s directions as a cascade of horrifying visions shatters her confidence. But though she senses her rock-god best friend might be hiding information, she isn’t braced for the sudden onslaught of betrayal and long-buried secrets.

Can she escape a labyrinth of treachery before she loses all she values?
