description: Life is close to perfect for Emil Larsson a self-satisfied bureaucrat in the Office of Customs and Excise in 1791 Stockholm. He is a true man of the Town--a drinker card player and contented bachelor--until one evening when Mrs. Sofia Sparrow a fortune-teller and proprietor of an exclusive gaming parlor shares with him a vision she has had: a golden path that will lead him to love and connection. She lays an Octavo for him a spread of eight cards that augur the eight individuals who can help him realize this vision--if he can find them.
