Their leap of faith could unleash magic ... or plunge them into darkness. Henry Thorn has worked at Larkin's since graduating high school. He likes it -- especially when he can use his secret skill of hiding inside shadows so his boss can't find them. Without that talent, he would never had survived growing up different. When a hire enters the store, Henry's other latent talent kicks in. He can smell an emotional response even before he lays eyes on the redhead. Jamey Currey came out, and his conservative parents promptly kicked him out. He, too, is different -- he senses Henry's attraction the moment they met. The first time they kiss, torrential rains fall from skies split by lightning. Their kiss also awakens the Watchers, diabolical hunters who will stop at nothing -- even extermination -- to keep magic suppressed. With the help of a friendly coven of friendly witches, the boys embark on a quest to discover an ancient key to restoring magic to the world, and to understand mysteries of their own hearts. The question is, will this quest cost them their lives?

The Werewolf and His Boy

“You’re never going back to Larkin’s,” Dr. Melloy finally said. “A werewolf, non-lunar, and a gods’ spawn exposed before mundanes—too risky. Oh yeah,” she added, glancing over her shoulder, “there’s a blanket or two back there somewhere. Wrap up before you freeze.”


“A what?” Henry finally asked after he draped one of the blankets over the two of them. “I guess I’m the werewolf but what’s Jamey? How do you know what we are? How did you know to come here?”
