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. Both men are driven to control
their psychic abilities, and their decisions have 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 talent to read
the lamp's dreamlight. Jack is convinced that private investigator Chloe
Harper is that woman. Her talent for finding objects and accessing dream
energy are what will save him, but a 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 she
and Jack draw closer to it, the raw power that dwells within it
threatens to sweep them into a hurricane of psychic power.
