A wonderful and compelling novel set in Sweden in the late 18th Century with a theme centred around divination by cards:

The deck used is actually a 52 card deck rather than a Tarot, and can be purchased (it looks lovely, although I haven't purchased it):

The story involves an eight card spread which reveals the identity of eight people the querent will meet, and who will create a new destiny for them. But the querent must vow to complete this quest, or suffer dire consequences.
There is also a book about the deck and spread available:

The authors are characters in the novel, Mrs. Sparrow being the card reader.
