Arcane Society
Jayne Ann Krentz · 12 novels · 2006–2011
Arcane Society opens with Second Sight, in which a photographer cataloguing artifacts at a secretive estate uncovers a psychic bond with its owner, descendant of the Victorian-era alchemist who founded a hidden society of people with paranormal talents. The books that follow send other members of that society into contemporary romantic-suspense plots built around their gifts, often tied to a formula, notebook, or artifact left from the alchemist's era. Jayne Ann Krentz's six novels here cover the society's present-day branch.
