Amber Nolan has dreams of the past, and of a young, handsome man who makes her feel like no young man in real life has ever done. But at the age of just 18, Amber loses both her parents. Struggling to cope and in a dead-end job at a local library, an advertisement catches her eye for a full-time, live-in librarian to sort and catalogue the extensive collection of books at a mysterious country house known as Shadow Grange for an equally mysterious employer Lord Eron.
Without Amber, Eron is desolate. No one realises that Dronis was not completely destroyed and, worse, that he had contaminated a batch of Essence. His control is spreading, and is seems that both the family and the Pool may be torn apart.
Yet, perhaps Amber’s influence is still active. Is she, somehow, still able to help them?
Amber has been happily married for many years. But will her children inherit her powers? If so, how and when should she tell them why they are different from normal people? And that’s quite apart from the problems all parents face as their children grow up. Nothing is easy, and none of them is yet aware that Dronis has returned and is seeking revenge.
Amber’s new job to catalogue an extensive library at a country house for a mysterious employer is perfect. But she has dreams of a young man who makes her feel as she has never felt before, and then starts having brief visions of her elderly employer as the man from her dreams. There is a secret at Shadow Grange. There will be a fight between good and evil, and Amber will be at the centre of it…
