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

Sirens. Screams. Car doors opening and slamming shut. People yelling, running.


Jamey was stunned. These monsters were visible.These monsters, which had to have been sent by the Watchers, were visibleto humans. That moment was all a green imp needed. It slashed at Jamey’s face, ripping his flesh from right ear to right jaw. Warm blood filled Jamey’s eye as he swung his sword, this time connecting with the last creature that came out of the sky, one more demon, this one like a small dragon, as flames singed Henry’s fur.


Behind Jamey, at the gate from the street into the garden, stood a Cornish policeman with his gun drawn.


The yellow imp jumped on the wolf’s back as it slapped the raven into the fence.


Jamey slashed straight over the wolf’s head, slicing off the imp’s forked tail and half a wing.
