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

Jamey handed Kathleen a cup of coffee and a toasted bagel smeared with cream cheese that he had saved for her.


“I could definitely use the coffee, thanks,” she said. “You were asking where witches come from, Charley? Well, as far as we know, witches have always been part of humanity. Magic is really a term for a deeper knowledge of how the universe works,” she said, stopping herself before she got into full lecture mode.


“What kind of witch are you?” Charley asked again.


Kathleen smiled gently. “Do you mean am I a good witch or a bad witch?” Charlie grinned.


“She’s definitely a good witch,” Jamey said. He looked at her and said softly, “Dr. M, are you really okay? I’m so so sorry about Ronan.” He started crying.


Charley started to say something, but Jamey shook his head, no.
