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?

“I also have a feeling about the British Isles. There are many ancient sacred places there and—call it witch’s intuition—you need to go there. It’s important. But, first, we have to find the key. I’ve been thinking of where to look first. If the key is an ordinary real key, it could be either a door or a padlock key, or a clock key, and it would have to be fairly old. It has to be in plain sight. Ordinarily those kinds of keys are not always out in the open, but in a museum they would be.”


When Dr. M had said Londonhe had felt a sudden, sharp of energy, just as he and Henry had felt when Loki’s hair turned into a corona of flame. The tunnel and the cave were in England. Jamey was sure of it.


“We have to go there—to England, I felt it, I sawit. In the dream lessons.”


Dr. M stared at him. “Why didn’t you say something?”
