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

Henry yawned as he slowly turned over, his own hands exploring until he found Jamey’s erection, his balls, his mouth—each discovery leading to the next, each found quicker than the last, and they found themselves somewhere between wrestling and making love. Jamey had never felt more awake. Each touch seemed to create some sort of energy charge, as if current was passing back and forth, skin to skin. It felt wonderful.


“Let me show you something,” Jamey said some moments later, his voice thick. “You get here, and do the same to me, yeah? I saw this in a book.”


“There are books about this stuff?” Damn, Henry thought. Here it was 2009 and he knew so little about just about anything it seemed—being gay just happened to be first on the list.


“Uh, should we use a condom, maybe?” Henry said slowly, hoping Jamey couldn’t see how embarrassed he was. He kept stroking Jamey, knowing at least here he was learning this territory of boy.
