Then Came The Ten Of Swords Kate Taylor

A card of fortune, ruin, drawn carefully, determines the fate of a beautiful woman. The merciless foreground of a female protecting her child from swords threatening and a soulless backdrop of an indifferent celestial void are the terrifying aspects of the Ten of Swords card. This beautiful woman, Grace, lives an idyllic lifestyle combining a loving and successful husband, wonderful twin sons and the freedom of owning a remote farm in New York. Her reversal of fortune is huge and swift. Her husband strays and then files for divorce in her inattention to him and obsession with the twins. And though she receives wealth in the divorce, she is shattered. She loves him still. In her distraction over this, a tragic accident occurs and one twin dies. A week later, Sammy, the surviving twin, sees his momma step from a taxi. He is overjoyed and runs to her naked and dripping from their pond. She is disconcerted by his wetness and cuffs his ear. The battle is provoked then. She is not herself but Sammy, disregarding her torment, is stirred against her. "How can she ignore you, Seth?" His delusion is beyond her; he is ever more maddened at her cruelty. Accusations of witchcraft, true deeds of torture and more death ensue. The curse is relentless. Can it be stopped? An awakening realization tips fate's hand. Then slowly, inexorably, another card is drawn.
