Publisher Description

The New York Times bestselling author presents her latest Arcane Society novel and introduces the first book in the Dreamlight Trilogy, the story of a curse that spans generations, and the love that can heal it. . . .

More than three centuries ago, Nicholas Winters irrevocably altered his genetic makeup in an obsession-fueled competition with alchemist and Arcane Society founder Sylvester Jones. Driven to control their psychic abilities, each man's decision has reverberated throughout the family line, rewarding some with powers beyond their wildest dreams, and cursing others to a life filled with madness and hallucinations.

Jack Winters, descendant of Nicholas, has been experiencing nightmares and blackouts, just the beginning, he believes of the manifestation of the Winters family curse. The legend says that he must find the Burning Lamp or risk turning into a monster. But he can't do it alone; he needs the help of a woman with the gift to read the lamp's dreamlight.

Jack is convinced that private investigator Chloe Harper is that woman. Her talents for finding objects and accessing dream energy are what will save him, but their sudden and powerful sexual pull threatens to overwhelm them both. Danger surrounds them, and it doesn't take long for Chloe to pick up the trail of the missing lamp. And as they draw closer to the lamp, the raw power that dwells within it threatens to sweep them into a hurricane of psychic force.

"Krentz has brilliant pacing and just the right touch for romance. The characters in the book are wonderful. And, in particular, I like the way she develops secondary characters. More folks to cheer for. I'd definitely recommend this."

    " The modern chapter of the Dreamlight Trilogy, another addition to the Arcane Society tales. Jack Winters is a descendant of the genetically altered paranormal genius Nicholas Winters. Unfortunately, the legacy is accompanied by a curse and destiny to become a monster if he begins manifesting more than one talent unless he finds the Burning Lamp and a woman who can manipulate the dreamlight energy that it can produce. Chloe Harper is an exceptional dreamlight manipulator descended from a long line of paranormal Talents who prefer to operate without attracting the attention of the powerful Jones family. Jack hires Chloe for her investigative talents to find the lamp which has disappeared from his family but he also hopes that her Talent in using dreamlight will be sufficient to save him. Jack is not the only one who wants to find and use the Burning Lamp and he and Chloe must deal with their attraction to each other and survive the challenges from the sinister Nightshade society. There is additional danger from the Jones family who will not hesitate to destroy Jack if he becomes a Cerberus by developing an additional Talent and spiraling downward into insanity. Ultimately, Chloe may be Jack's only hope. "

    " Having never read any books by this author before I knew going in that I was at a disadvantage. Not the problem for me - Too much psychic/paranormal jargon in this book was the problem. Though I like sci-fi/paranormal fiction this was more than I like. Doubt I'll read the rest of the trilogy. "

    " a light fun entry in the linked paranormal series. reading out of order, but not really an issue. Sometimes you just need a book to be exactly what you expect. Now to figure out which book is "next" for me. "

    " I'm not really into magic and tree-hugging hippy stuff, but the Arcane Society novels have a wonderful mix of the exotic and romantic thriller. This story didn't disappoint, although I might have preferred a bit more romance. "

    " I found it tough at the beginning as I have not read any previous Arcane Society stories and I think it would have helped to, for background on the various factions and abilities. However once I got a few things figured it was entertaining enough, nothing special but an easy read. "

    " This was one of the better "arcane" novels set in current times. Does seem like psychic powers pay better than four years of college! Jack and Chloe create a believable romance and mystery. I am not as thrilled about the ending with the J&J head. "

    " It is an easy and enjoyable read but you must suspend reality.True escapism.It borders on becoming 'comic book fare'. I suppose it is classified as a romance or alternative or para normal romance. If you enjoy her other Arcane novels ,I am sure that you will like this one also. "
