#1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning’s novella Into the Dreaming, a tale of Highland fantasy, star-crossed lovers, and the timeless manipulation of the ancient, immortal Unseelie king. Free him from his ice-borne hell Stolen from his beloved home in the Highlands of Scotland, imprisoned in the Unseelie king’s dark, frosty kingdom, Aedan MacKinnon endured #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning’s novella Into the Dreaming, a tale of Highland fantasy, star-crossed lovers, and the timeless manipulation of the ancient, immortal Unseelie king.
Free him from his ice-borne hell Stolen from his beloved home in the Highlands of Scotland, imprisoned in the Unseelie king’s dark, frosty kingdom, Aedan MacKinnon endured centuries of torture before becoming the icy, emotionless Vengeance, the dark king’s dispatcher of death and destruction in the mortal realm. And in his century you both may dwell Aspiring romance novelist Jane Sillee has always believed that she was born in the wrong century, but she’s managed to make a decent enough life for herself—if only she could stop having those recurring dreams about a man too perfect to exist. In the Dreaming you have loved him Haunted every night of her life by a devastatingly sexy Highlander who comes to her while she sleeps, Jane tries to write him out of her head and heart. As a child he protected her, as a woman he loves her. Now in the Waking you must save him When an ancient tapestry bearing the likeness of her beloved Highlander arrives on her doorstep, Jane is whisked back in time to fifteenth-century Scotland, to the castle of Dun Haakon on the isle of Skye, where she is given one chance to save her dream loveror lose him forever to the Unseelie king. Caught in a deadly game between the light and dark courts of the Fae, Jane must find a way through the ice to the heart of her Highander.
But will the love of one mortal woman be enough to defeat such ancient and ruthless immortal enemies? I am proud to say that I have been to the Isle of Skye (the ‘cloud island’). It is wild and beautiful and its Cuillin Hills are mist-enshrouded. When you stand next to a sea cliff, you can inhale the freshest air you can find on Earth. The story of this book takes place in the Isle of Skye and it starts with a game between the Unseelie King and the Seelie Queen.

Aeden has lost his self and he is about to lose his soul.Jane Sillee, a romance novelist who is transported to medieval Scotland by the Seelie Queen to break the evil spell.
Jane will seduce Aeden with home food, children's laughter and lots of touching and kissing. Aeden used to visit Jane in her dreams. There is a realm, especially for this reason, called the Dreaming. Jane has fallen in love with him, before they actually meet in person.
The book mixes delightfully dreams and reality and it is a sweet fairytale. It is full of beautiful images, which can make you daydream: “Much later, when he possesed her completely, a full blood moon stained the sky above the Highlands of Scotland.”. Into the Dreaming is a short story set in Moning’s Highlander/Fever world originally published in the anthology Tapestry in 2002. I first read it in the spring of 2010 when I was on a desperate hunt for clues to discover what the heck Jericho Barrons was and trying to assuage the pain of the wait for Shadowfever. Into the Dreaming then was a fun read, provided me with what I thought at the time were decent clues but in the end did not turn out to be anything but a sweet distraction.
Once again I Into the Dreaming is a short story set in Moning’s Highlander/Fever world originally published in the anthology Tapestry in 2002. I first read it in the spring of 2010 when I was on a desperate hunt for clues to discover what the heck Jericho Barrons was and trying to assuage the pain of the wait for Shadowfever. Into the Dreaming then was a fun read, provided me with what I thought at the time were decent clues but in the end did not turn out to be anything but a sweet distraction. Once again I find myself in a desperate wait for Moning to publish her books. Fever Moon, which is a graphic novel with a new Barrons and Mac storyline is scheduled to be released on July 10, 2012.
Like a good addicted fan, I have already pre-ordered it. Then there is Iced, Moning’s new spin-off series set in the Fever world, with Dani as the main character that is scheduled to be released on October 30, 2012. I have that pre-ordered as well.
Like many good Fever/Moning fans, I own a variety of versions of her books — ebook, audio and hard cover. And that is for all of her books — I own and have read and listened (and re-read and re-listened multiple times) to all of her books. I bought both CDs released that accompany her Fever world.
I am a semi-regular reader of her blog, I have posted at her forum and I have considered going to her new release parties in New Orleans. I write all of this so you will all understand I am a fan of her work. Have I proven myself? Okay, so here it is — Into the Dreaming with bonus material is not worth paying the hardcover or new release e-book price. Get it from the library, look for the older anthology Tapestry and read the short story there. This book offers fans very little to justify the price tag.
The short story “Into the Dreaming” itself is a decent read if fans of Moning’s writing enjoyed her other Highlander books. If you haven’t read her Highlander series, then I recommend starting with Kiss of a Highlander, which is the beginning of the highlander story arc and then moving on to the good ones in the highlander series which are Dark Highlander, Immortal Highlander and Spell of a Highlander. Note — I do not recommend starting with the first three in Moning’s highlander ”series”. The word series incorrectly denotes an ongoing story arc; between books 1-3 and 4+ in the highlander series, there is not an important story arc connection. The storylines are not connected to the latter novels and many readers (die hard fans like myself) find books 1, 2 and 3 not very enjoyable; I have known many Fever fans to start off the highlander “series” with book 1 and lose steam before they get to the good books (4), thus giving up on the highlander storylines.
The paranormal and fae connection to Moning’s Fever world becomes much stronger and better written with book #4. How does this short story fit in? Into the Dreaming, the short story, is not connected in story arc to any of the highlander books and many fans read it last — after having finished Spell of a Highlander. Okay, so why is Into the Dreaming with bonus material not worth the new release price tag? No Substantive Material There is the short story Into the Dreaming — but that has already been released in an anthology 10 years ago and as an ebook short by itself. If you have already read this, the new re-release is not worth buying the book to read again. If you haven’t, get it from the library.
The short story itself hasn’t changed. Moning includes a proposal sent to a publisher for a never published romance novel. Why is this interesting? I just don’t get it.
Anyway, it is a waste of time to read. Moning includes a deleted scene from Kiss of a Highlander. The scene is not great and I agree with the original move to delete it from the novel. It doesn’t add anything new to the storyline. Moning includes an alternate opening to Dark Highlander that she scrapped because she (rightfully in my opinion) got the storyline wrong. She wanted to take Dark Highlander in a different direction, with a different heroine! The published version is better.
Again, in my opinion the alternate opening is not worth the time to read. Moning made a very good decision to toss this version and go with what was ultimately published. Dark Highlander is my favorite in the highlander series, so for me reading the alternate version was not enjoyable at all. There is an excerpt from Dark Fever in this book, okay I am guessing that most people paying the new release price have read Dark Fever and if not — it is readily available elsewhere. Moning includes a teaser of her new graphic novel Fever Moon, which is a graphic novel and the images are in black and white. Fever Moon is going to be released in July 2012.
Again, this does not make the novel worth the time or price tage. From my point of view, the re-release of Into the Dreaming does not offer readers anything substantive that isn’t out there in one way or another. I am still a fan of Moning, I wish her the best and am excitedly waiting for Fever Moon and Iced. To read more reviews like this and this review check out. This novella is a re-read for me. I love Moning's Highlanders.
Like seriously love. This novella is billed as Highlander #8, but it also has hints of the Fever series.

Oh, and there's an ebook version full of extras. I'd buy that one. This review is for the paperback from '02.
Jane Sillee is a chronic daydreamer. She works in a coffee shop by day, and writes in every spare second she has.
But at night, her dreams are of a Highland warrior. The seelie queen Aibhoil (same one from the Fever series), and the unseelie king are both battling over a Highlander named Aedan MacKinnon, grandson to the great king the MacAlpin. The unseelie king has taken Aedan to be his Vengeance. Since the unseelie king can't meddle in the mortal world, he sends his Vengeance to do it.
Aibhoil knows this is wrong, and while she can't free Aedan, she can give him hope. Searching time, she finds his one true mate.
And makes sure they meet in the Dreaming. Basically they dream of each other.
Jane knows he's real, and one day, she's sent a tapestry with his likeness woven into it, and when she holds it out, she's taken to 1428 Scotland. Where Aedan is. What the unseelie king didn't tell Aedan is that 5 years in Faerie is 500 mortal years. By 1428, their contract allows him 1 month in his home. But it's been 500 years, so nothing is there.
That doesn't bother Aedan though, since the unseelie king has made sure he won't remember anything but Vengeance. Jane has one month to realize she's not dreaming, make Aedan remember who is was, and make him fall in love with her. But how can she do all that when he doesn't want to spend time with her? This is a fun story that reminds me of what an amazing writer Moning is. It's full of the best parts of her heroes, heroines, and the fae who have such a huge role in the Fever series. I recommend it even if you haven't read the Highlander or Fever series since it stands on its own pretty well.
It's a sexy and fun read. This was a lovely short story and me being hooked to KMM's Highlander world, I just had to read it. Well.this novella is pure escapism with a handful of hot Highlanders and medieval setting and castle and.the Unseelie King, Seelie Queen and the Faeries! Who am I to say no? The story is enjoyable to an extend, the male and female lead are okay-ish as well. However, this book totally sucks on the realism department. Oh, don't tell me it's a fantasy romance so realism is not needed here, a certain amount of realism is needed in every book.
Plus I was really pissed when the female lead said th Well.this novella is pure escapism with a handful of hot Highlanders and medieval setting and castle and.the Unseelie King, Seelie Queen and the Faeries!

Oh, don't tell me it's a fantasy romance so realism is not needed here, a certain amount of realism is needed in every book. Plus I was really pissed when the female lead said things like she was 'born in the wrong century'.
I mean, woman, wake the fuck up! Before 'this very, very wrong century', most women on Earth had no rights to choose their own husbands, to decide whether to give birth to children or not (let's not forget women tended to die during child-birth back then). Many of the womanfolks didn't get to have education, they also didn't get to keep money, land and income under their own names and weren't allowed to have a job, for the rest of their lives they had to depend first on their fathers, then their husbands and eventually their sons! Tell me again how you were born in the wrong century, I dare you.
This is a nice little short story. It may appeal to those Fever fans out there who are anxiously awaiting Shadowfever. There is a glimpse of the Unseelie King and a little background on the Seelie Queen. As a love story, it is a little short.

Jane Sillee is transported back to Scotland in the 1400's to Aiden's family castle. She has one month to make him fall in love with her or he will be trapped in the Unseelie King's prison forever. Aeden is like an amnesiac. After 500 years with the Unseelie King, he has lost his humanity, his capacity to love.
His perceptions of life, Jane, and Jane's little kitten are often comical. Jane is the perfect woman for Aedan and she introduces him back to his humanity a little at a time. A nice little diversion and easily read in an afternoon. For Fever fans - The Dreaming is a place in between worlds where mortals and fae meet and where true love is preordained. For being a short story, it was such a nice book. It was like reading every good part of a book all together without having to read the boring parts in the middle.
This book was so different from the rest of the highlander books in the series. I absolubtely loved Aedan. With his memory lost he was the sweetest thing I've ever seen. I just wanted him to remeber everithing and become the hot and sexy warrior you knew he would become.

I loved this book, eventhough it was really short, I read it in almost 4 hours. I would 've loved to see more of this couple. Nevertheless, the Keltars still have mhy heart, no other highlanders will be as hot as those 3 keltars. OK.I know this was just supposed to hold me over until Iced is released later this year, but as usual I want more. I really liked Into the Dreaming and the deleted scenes from Kiss of a Highlander. I am super glad she trashed the first version of Dark Highlander, because it was horrible. I guess my reaction is harsh because it is one of my favorites of her highlander series.

Always exciting, always enticing and always a hit. At first I was like, 'whoa, this womans whipped.' But once I read his description, then I knew why.;) As much as I liked Jane's character, being a sweet, kind and witty novelist, it was hard to compete with the best of the novel, Aedan MacKinnon.

Aedan is tough, but what he goes through is hard to imagine. I won't give away too much, because I love a good element of surprise. I can tell you that no matter the size and roughness of Aedan, not to mention the good looks, that he was too cute.
There's an innocence in him, theres reasons for that, that I can't tell you, but theres a scene where he reads Janes novel that made me giddy. Although this was a shorter novel than I hoped, it was more than worth the read. If you've already started on this series, than you have to add this one to the list.
If you haven't read this series but want to see what it's all about, then check this novel out. I love KKM’s Highlander Series so I was excited to find this book. I wasn’t exactly crazy about this one (I love all the others) but did not exactly hate it.
No, let me get this right.I liked it more than I thought I would.yes, there’s the sexy Highlander and the cute heroine, who has to stand on a stool to reach the hero’s facea rather novel way to kiss a man!!!! Then there’s the cat she adoptsand how she manages to charm the whole village and naturally, in the end the hero as well.

She saves him from the evil clutches of the Unseelie King.and we get more of the Fae Queen Aibhoil.what a teaser for the Fever Series!!!!!
It’s a sweet story with two endearing characters – I love the name Jane Sillee.does it have something to do with Seelie!!!!!!!!!!! Pity it was such a short book. Source: via on Now for starters if you haven't read the Fever series don't until you read this series first. I think it makes up a hell of a difference if you read this first you may understand things I may not have completely did reading The Fever series first. This whole series was full of hot alpha kilt wearing heros, smart strong brave heroines, a little magic, some time travel, suspense, and some hot loving. I would recommend it to anyone.
Now, for this book alone the book starts out as Aedan making a deal with the devil basically. He makes a deal with the Unseelie King his life for five years for the safety of his family. What Aedan doesn't know is the five years were faery years which in mortal years is the same as 500 years stuck in the dark icy seelie prison. He is forced over time to forget every memory he has of his former life and trained to be the kings Vengeance.Once his inprisionment is complete he will be offered one month to find his soul mate or will be forced to serve the king for eternity. However the Seelie Queen is notified this is going on and decides to decieve the Unseelie King and place a spell so that in his dreams he will live out a life with his soul mate so that when the time comes that he is released for a month he will find her and will fall in love.
'Hold fast, MacKInnon, for I have found you the mate to your soul. She will warm you. She will love you above all others.
And all of this brings us to Jane. She is made for Aedan. She doesn't fit in with the present day at all.
She is actually wrapped up in her head of reading romance novels and having a relationship with a man she has dreamed about since she was old enough to dream. She really only works because bills have to be paid.
She is struggling to try to be a writer, writing books about the dreams she has had her entire life about her Highlander. When suddenly she receives a package in the mail of a tapestry with a picture of Aedan and his name stitched into it. She goes to sleep and wakes up in a different time butt naked outside next to a lake with a kitten.
Free him from his ice-borne hell. And in his century you both may dwell. In the Dreaming hast thou loved him, Now in the Waking must thou save him. This begins the story.
Aedan doesn't remember her and she has been given a month to 'save him' for things she doesn't even know he needs to be saved from. Now, that is all I'm going to spill because unlike the rest of the books in this series, this book is a short story and no way am I going to spill any of the goods. Source: via on This has been an incredible journey throughout this series. Like mentioned above I have fallen madly in love with Scotland and men in kilts. I am even now a little more tolerant to try reading historical romance, which has never been my thing but have found as I have went back in time with these hunky highlanders can be very stimulating. I must also note that there are more than one edition to this book, I think.
One edition offers bonus material. I wasn't aware of that bonus material until after I had read this and may need to edit my review after I read it.

Jane, a modern- day romance writer and Aeden, a hot Scot fall in love in between realms called the Dreaming. When Jane is transported back in time to save Aeden from the Unseelie King, we really get a glimpse of the undying love they have for one another. For a short story, it’s great and give new readers a chance to see what KMM’s writing was like before.
You seriously cannot go wrong with a KMM Scottish highlander. After this, Karen writes a great piece about her time as a writer. It’s heartfelt and worth the read if you are interested in the inner thoughts of your favorite author. Karen also gifts her fans with GHOST OF A CHANCE, a formal proposal of a book that was never written.
It’s interesting and would make some readers wish this did get written because it does sound like an interesting book. The next two sections are the ones I was most looking forward to. As a big fan of her MacKelter brothers, I was excited to read about the deleted scene from KISS OF THE HIGHLANDER and the Dark Highlander Lite version. These are just little treats for her fans and I think it’s great to see them all in one book. There is also a teaser for Darkfever for highlander fans who haven’t read her Fever series yet. Also, there is about 10 pages or so about FEVERMOON, the graphic novel adaptation of her Fever series.
I’m not quite sure that this part was worth it. It contains both black and white and colored pictures, but not enough for me to say, “Oh my god, I need this now.” In the end, I enjoyed this. If you’re a KMM fan, you’ll want to check this out. Indulge in your Moning Maniac side. Very interesting.
Whimsical yet sensual, a dark yet hopeful journey for Aeden and Jane, laced with the right touch Fae magic. I read this in the anthology Tapestry, and I think it is the better storytelling of the two others (books one and two) I've read in the Highlander series. I give it a solid 4.5 stars. I hadn't thought to continue in the series, but I might reconsider. That little twist at the end between the Seelie Queen and the Unseelie King was a delight! So glad this gem was not missed.
Oh Jane and what's your name that's totally irrelevant, you silly little characters you. That about sums up my feeling towards this book. The MC (Jane and whats his face) are merely representations of the Fae King and Queen, which is what this book was written for. I'm not 100% of the timeline of where Fever begins and where Highlander ends, however I don't believe there is any overlap in time and Highlander is firmly planted first to get everyone in the same century. This book breaks the the mo Oh Jane and what's your name that's totally irrelevant, you silly little characters you. That about sums up my feeling towards this book.

I'm not 100% of the timeline of where Fever begins and where Highlander ends, however I don't believe there is any overlap in time and Highlander is firmly planted first to get everyone in the same century. This book breaks the the mold as the MC's stay back in time, 15th century I believe, but as I said it's purpose was not about the MC's but the interaction of the Queen of light and the King of the dark. OK, so we start off with someone speaking to the Queen about the King finding a new Vengeance. Apparently, the King is barred from entering the human world and must trick, break and thoroughly destroy a strong human male to enter back between the worlds to do his bidding? From what I know in Fever, this makes him sound utterly ridiculous and doesn't fit but perhaps there is a loop hole I won't speculate on.
She sings and the court chants and they find Vengeance his perfect love mate to remind him of who he is and break the hold of the Unseelie king, basically just to waste his time (500 years) and to beat him. Flash forward to Jane a 24 year old aspiring romance novelist who feels out of place in her own generation. She's been dreaming of her Highlander all her life (ick) and he watched her grow to where their relationship evolved into a highly sexual one, in her dreams. Baby to ripe young woman? Blah, anyways what's his face gets to leave the Unseelie prison for 1 month and if he loves and is loved in return does not have to return to the king, he is of course unaware of this and the Queen put things into motion long ago to get Jane in the right time and place. She awakes on the banks of the ocean, bare naked to find her Highlander, and he does not know her. Lots of mundane crap in the middle, sex, games, he remembers blah blah blah.
At least it's quick, not a horrible read but very choppy. The important part in all of this is what happens afterwards between the king and queen, perhaps we can finally understand what happened to her prior to the walls coming down?
Perhaps if you are a Fever fan you should read this short, it's only a 100 pages and well worth the backstory! On further review, what's his face has been taught by the Unseelie king with all kinds of spells and magic and such, however we do not understand the depths of this we can assume he is deadly. Although they remain in this time, a thought occurred to me earlier of a mention of a romance novelist who wanted to take pictures of.
One of the twins in Scottland for the cover of her book. Perhaps they do some time traveling and all wind up in the same century?

This version with all the bonus material was so worth the wait and it was great to visit this world that I love so much!! This is a short story jam packed with all the sexy greatness we expect form one of Karen’s Highlander. Aedan MacKinnon was a great Highland warrior. He was tricked into making a horrible deal with the dark Unseelie King, which has him trapped in an icy prison for not the five years he was told but five hundred years.
The years were used to break him down and build him back up as the emotionless Vengeance, The dark king’s dispatcher of death and destruction. After the five hundred years he has one month to find love or lose his true self forever. The Faery queen is not happy to know that the Dark King has kidnapped a Highlander that is a direct decedent of Highland royalty, so she decides to help him find his love at the end of his imprisonment. Jane Sillee has been having dreams of the same sexy Highlander since before she can even remember, and she is one hundred percent in love with her “dream highlander.” She uses the writing of romance novels to help her to get over her obsession with him, but that isn’t working so well.
Then comes the day she finds a mysterious box containing a tapestry that looks exactly like her dream lover, but also drags her back in time and into the live and in person presence of Aedan. Only problem he has not memory of his self or of her, and she has one month to get him to remember everything and find love with her. LOL I absolutely LOVED this book. Not only was Into the Dreaming as amazing as the rest of the series, but the bonus materials make is that much better. Karen tells you how she came to rerelease this story, but also her journey to getting this series published. Also there are deleted scenes from one of the books, and the first draft of Dark Highlander (a much different book). I highly recommend not only this book, but this whole series!!
What is better than sexy as hell Highlanders?? I think not much!! Add in some smoking hot sex, and then you get a whole series of panty melting books!! This was an exciting ' take ' on Beauty and the Beast!
The Beauty is a modern romance novelist, never quite fitting wherever she goes. She has been in love with a mysterious stranger who has been appearing in her dreams since she was a child, and her lover ( in her dreams) since she was in her late teens. Her name is Jane. One day out of the blue, she receives an ancient tapestry picturing her dream lover, a Highland Warrior.

She falls asleep with it, and wakes up on the shore of a sea, near an ancient castle that is falling to ruins. There atop one of the turrets glaring down at her, is her Highland Warrior. No longer looking kind, loving and gentle, but fierce and forbidding.
Out Beast's name is Aedan MacKinnon, who has been held prisoner and tortured for five hundred years. He has been released for thirty days from the evil Unseelie King. If he can find love at the end of thirty days, he will be released from the evil king. Jane is helped by the Seelie Queen to understand the conditions of his imprisonment, and how he can be set free. Jane will not lose her warrior! She is after all a Romance writer, and turns to her talent to try and save the day. This is a wonderful story of good against evil, and love conquering all!
Very entertaining, and I don't think it's a spoiler to say they have there happily ever after! I would recommend this book to everyone who loves tales of fearless warriors, and smart sassy heroines! I am still wondering where this book fits into the Highlander Series.
I think maybe it could be read in the beginning or the end. Anyways, what I thought. I liked it and disliked it which is the reason I gave it a 3. It was a little on the cheesy side what with the Tapestry and the Dreams that Jane and Aedan were having together. However, I did like the idea that the Unseelie king had kept Aedan in Faery for 500 years and tortured him (I like angst) and then deposited him back in Scotland for a mon I am still wondering where this book fits into the Highlander Series.

However, I did like the idea that the Unseelie king had kept Aedan in Faery for 500 years and tortured him (I like angst) and then deposited him back in Scotland for a month with no explanation. The explanation really being that in a months time if he is loved and loves a woman in return then he will be free of the Unseelie King. Of course, this means the Seelie or Fae Queen gets involved because she has a little rivalry going with the Dark King. I liked that. I also liked that the Dark King’s intentions weren’t really about Aedan at all which is a strange thing to think about.
I do like that Jane goes to some lengths to get Aedan to remember who he is. I rather like Aedan though he is absolutely no Dageus or Cian. Of COURSE it would figure that the short and sweet little novella would be my favourite. Modern-day woman with dreams of being a published romance author, whose novels are inspired by the vivid dreams of a dark Highlander that she's had as long as she can remember, is thrown back in time to save the LITERAL man of her dreams?

The man who, for once, is basically (sorta not really but yes) the untouched virgin of the story? And there's a kitten (like, an actual cat, I'm not being cute) named Sexpot? Freaking adorable and fun and hot. Why couldn't I have a few hundred more pages of Jane and her Aedan? I don't know why I read this one before reading the other previous books in the series. Maybe because there is something in the title Into the Dreaming that lure me. A couple who meet each other in the dream.

It's just perfect for my mood, I think. “The only other calling I ever felt was an irrepressible desire to be Captain of my own Starship.
