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 looked up, wondering first where his raven was, then remembering it had said it would meet him at the safe house. He followed Jamey inside and grabbed a robe from one of the bedrooms. He went to the kitchen, drawn by the smell of chicken soup, stopping at a display rack in a corner in the dining room. The rack was filled with pamphlets about the tourist attractions in Coverack and nearby: Port Isaac, where Doc Martinwas filmed, St. Ives, The Lizard, Land’s End, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Tintagel Castle, the Eden Project.


“Jamey, look at this. Isn’t that a cave or something below Tintagel Castle? Look, right here.”


Jamey glanced at the pamphlet and then stared at the picture. “I saw that when we were looking at stuff with Dr, M. Merlin’s Cave. It’s really a tunnel, remember? And it goes straight through under the castle. All right, after we rest.”
