Jack Winters knows the nightmares and blackouts signal the beginning of his end. The Winters family curse has stalked his bloodline for over three centuries, ever since his ancestor Nicholas made a fateful decision in competition with Sylvester Jones, founder of the Arcane Society. Both men altered their genetics in pursuit of psychic control, creating a legacy that grants extraordinary abilities to some descendants while driving others to madness. Legend tells Jack he must locate the Burning Lamp or transform into something monstrous. He cannot succeed alone. He needs a woman capable of reading the lamp's dreamlight, and he believes private investigator Chloe Harper possesses this rare gift. Chloe quickly picks up the lamp's trail, but their search grows increasingly dangerous. The closer they get to their prize, the more the lamp's raw energy threatens to engulf them both in a storm of psychic power. Jack must choose between claiming the artifact that could save him and protecting the woman who might be his salvation.
