Emperor and Hierophant

"On tour with the Lyceum Theatre in Manchester, Pamela Colman Smith is kidnapped by a mysterious force. In captivity, she begins a relationship with her mute keeper, a strange creature at the beck and call of her nemesis, Aleister Crowley. Experiencing visions and visitations from other ethereal beings, Pamela works to escape her prison before Aleister harms another one of her muses in pursuit of control over her magical tarot deck. Meanwhile, Pamela's guardian and mentor, Bram Stoker, tries to find her as he tours with the stars of the Lyceum Theatre, Pamela's muses for the Magician and Empress cards. Alerted to Pamela's plight, Ahmed Kamal, Pamela's Egyptologist friend, joins Bram to come to her aid. In order to liberate herself from the mysterious forces who've abducted her, however, Pamela herself must outwit and out-magic Aleister by learning the lessons of her Emperor and Hierophant--and in doing so commanding the power manifesting from her tarot deck"--Page 4 of cover.
