Some connections are too powerful for one lifetime.

After everything Sarah Fuller discovered about her past, slipping back into her old Manhattan life isn't quite so simple. She's still a wife, a mother, and the CEO of a luxury fragrance company, but she can't simply forget the past and return to life as it was.

Determined to reinvent one of perfumery's most familiar notes, Sarah's search leads her to the South of France and an ancient rose that may hold the key.

But what begins as inspiration for her next fragrance soon draws Sarah into the mysteries of Renaissance France and the story of a maiden with mysterious powers whose life feels hauntingly familiar.

As tarot reveals more about her past, even Sarah's skeptical shrink begins taking an unexpected interest in what she might uncover. Meanwhile, her marriage is strained, her closest relationships are shifting, and the man she can't seem to forget may have been part of her story long before either of them can remember.

But uncovering the past is one thing. Deciding whether to repeat it is another.

And the whispers are getting harder to ignore.

Arcanum: Whispers in the Forest is the second novel in the Arcanum series, weaving romance, history, past lives, and self-discovery across present-day and Renaissance France.

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.
