Summary (From the publisher):

In a fairy-tale setting—a castle and a tavern in the heart of a dense wood—a company of men and women are brought together by chance. Distraught and speechless after strange adventures, they communicate their experiences—love affairs, betrayals, battles, conquests—by playing a game of tarot, whose configurations reveal their fates, which are at once unique and universal.
