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?

“Commander, we await your orders. Places and tasks are assigned.”


Ella nodded her head. “Get some rest now; then, we go to work. Be ready to take the lead on this one.” This metamorphosis might be Ella’s last for a long time. This morning when she had awakened to dead skin peeling from her arms, her legs, her back, she realized it was imminent. After this last fight, the completion of this last task, a task that was taking too long and too much of her dwindling energy, it would be time for the dark cave and the long sleep.
