What if happily ever after takes more than one lifetime?

Sarah Fuller seems to have everything: she's the CEO of a luxury fragrance company, married to a successful Morgan Stanley executive, raising twins, and living in a penthouse overlooking Central Park on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

On the day of her fortieth birthday, things start getting weird.

Sarah meets a mysterious stranger who feels impossibly familiar. She can't explain why she's drawn to him, or shake the feeling that somehow, somewhere, they've met before.
Then an intuitive psychic and her tarot cards offer an explanation Sarah never could have imagined: she may have known him in another lifetime, when she was the lover of an Egyptian pharaoh and a powerful mystic in ancient Egypt.

Is it déjà vu? A midlife crisis? A nervous breakdown?

Sarah has always been a skeptic. Her husband, her best friend, her shrink: everyone seems to think they know what's best for her. But the more impossible it all sounds, the more something about it feels strangely right. And Sarah is determined to find out more.

As the mysteries of ancient Egypt begin to collide with her present, Sarah is forced to reconcile the life she loves with a past she can't explain and a connection she can't seem to ignore.
But if the past can explain the life she chose, can it also change what she chooses next?

Arcanum: In the Temple Shadows is the first novel in the Arcanum series, weaving contemporary Manhattan, ancient Egypt, romance, past lives, and self-discovery into a story about soulmates, destiny, and the choices that follow us from one lifetime to the next.

Kelly O'Hearn, author and intuitive, spent weeks using the tarot to channel stories from her own past lives, inspiring Arcanum, the first novel series channeled entirely through the tarot.
