For generations, the Hawthorne family has guarded a secret. When Evelyn Hawthorne created the twenty-two Major Arcana, they were never meant to predict the future. Each card was designed to bind a supernatural entity, turning the deck into a prison. Decades later, the cards resurface. A hunter is found dead with one of them beside his body, its back marked by a strange hawthorn branch wrapped around a circle. Bobby Singer recognizes the symbol from an old journal belonging to Evelyn, and knows only one person can help them understand what is happening. Olivia Hawthorne. After losing her mother while she was protecting the cards, Olivia has spent years keeping her family's secrets buried. But when Bobby sends Sam and Dean Winchester to her doorstep, she is forced back into a legacy she thought was over. Together, they begin hunting the entities bound to the Major Arcana, one card at a time. But the cards aren't appearing randomly. As Sam connects the hawthorn symbol on the deck to the one carved into Evelyn's journal, they uncover a pattern that has been waiting for generations. Twenty-two cards. Twenty-two doors. One final keeper. And somewhere between dangerous hunts, late-night research, and life on the road, Sam Winchester falls in love with the one person he may never be able to save.
