The Arcane Society series is Jayne Ann Krentz’s most ambitious interconnected project, spanning 13 books across her three pen names. The series follows the Arcane Society, a secretive organization of people with paranormal abilities, through mysteries and romances set in the present day, the Victorian era, and a futuristic colonized world. The scope of the project is unusual in romance fiction.
The series includes the Dreamlight Trilogy and the Looking Glass Trilogy as sub-series, along with standalone entries like Second Sight, White Lies, and Sizzle and Burn. Each book pairs a new couple while advancing the larger plot about threats to the Arcane Society and the nature of psychic powers. Krentz manages the complexity of the shared universe well, making each book accessible while rewarding longtime readers with recurring characters and deepening mythology.
