Maeve je šestnásťročná stredoškoláčka, ktorej sa v škole veľmi nedarí. Nič ju nebaví, pre nič sa nedokáže nadchnúť a v porovnaní so svojimi úspešnými súrodencami sa cíti ako sivá myška. Jedného dňa nájde balíček tarotových kariet, a hoci o tarote nič nevie, objav ju okamžite zaujme. Len jedna karta akoby nepatrila medzi ostatné – Správkyňa. Maeve o nej nedokáže nič zistiť, a tak ju vytiahne z balíčka a schová u seba v izbe. Z ostatných začne veštiť spolužiačkam a stáva sa čoraz populárnejšou. Vyveštiť si nechá aj Lily, Maevina bývalá najlepšia kamarátka. Z balíčka kariet si vytiahne práve tú, ktorá tam nemala čo hľadať. Keď sa potom neobjaví v škole, Maeve premkne neblahé tušenie, že za jej zmiznutím stojí záhadná Správkyňa.

"Rachel is a student working at a bookstore when she meets James, and it's love at first sight. Effervescent and insistently heterosexual, James soon invites Rachel to be his roommate and the two begin a friendship that changes the course of both their lives forever. Together, they run riot through the streets of Cork city, trying to maintain a bohemian existence while the threat of the financial crash looms before them. When Rachel falls in love with her married professor, Dr. Fred Byrne, James helps her devise a reading at their local bookstore, with the goal that she might seduce him afterwards. But Fred has other desires. So begins a series of secrets and compromises that intertwine the fates of James, Rachel, Fred, and Fred's glamorous, well-connected, bourgeois wife."--

"With the return of the Housekeeper on the cards, Maeve must find out everything she can about the vengeful tarot spirit in order to finally defeat her. Crossing over into a parallel dimension inside the old school building, she explores the history of the Housekeeper - and spends too long in a world and a mind not her own. With the Children of Brigid closing in once more, and Maeve's friend group now fractured across Ireland, can they hope to ultimately save the town - and Maeve - from the grip of a power greater than they ever imagined?"--Publisher's description.

Maeve and her friends have spent the summer practising their gifts: Maeve can read minds, Roe can pick locks, Fiona can heal and Lily channels electricity. What's more, Roe and Maeve are officially an item. But with strange things happening at school and old enemies appearing in new places, it's clear their powers are attracting the wrong attention. And it's not long before Maeve's gift starts to wane, drained by someone, or something, hiding even from her second sight.

What starts out as a drunken mistake quickly unravels as Jane discovers that sex and power go hand-in-hand, and that it's hard to keep your head when you've become someone else's dirty little secret. And soon, her friendships, her sanity and even her life are put into jeopardy... 'Sharp, pithy and engaging' Irish Times 'Brilliant' Elle 'Deeply relatable and darkly comic . . .

Шістнадцятирічна Мейв переживає складні часи. Минув майже рік, відколи вона відштовхнула свою найкращу подругу Лілі, щоб приєднатися до гурту популярних учениць. Утім, це не особливо змінило її статусу в школі. Прибираючи за покару шкільний підвал, званий ученицями Карцером, Мейв знаходить колоду карт Таро — і захоплюється ворожінням. Минає кілька днів, і ось Мейв уже популярна шкільна ворожка. Та її успіх нетривалий: після невдалої ворожби та сварки Лілі зникає безвісти. Що трапилося з нею? І чи вийде Мейв оволодіти своїм даром і виправити помилки, відшукавши Лілі? У своєму дебютному романі для підлітків ірландська письменниця Керолайн О’Доног’ю торкається чутливих тем: дружби, першого кохання, пошуку і прийняття себе, гендеру, гомофобії — і приправляє все це пригорщею ірландської магії.
