Shadows of Ourselves (2016 Original Edition)

Sky Davenport can tell when you're lying. He can feel it...

Using his strange gift to keep himself and his alcoholic mother afloat, Sky has been counting down the days until he can escape the dreary city of Saint John and start his life for real. When a mysterious job prospect puts him in the path of a pack of shadow monsters, a stranger named Hunter saves his life. Soon, Sky begins unleashing impressive new powers of his own, and the boys learn that their gifts have been chained together by an ancient bond.

To break the connection between them, Sky is forced to delve into the strange and mystical world Hunter inhabits. Charmers, Reapers, Elementals and more all stalk the frozen streets, unseen by mortal eyes. In a race against time through a magikal landscape like nothing he's ever seen, Sky is forced to confront not only his growing feelings for Hunter-but also a thirst for power like nothing he's ever known, and a dangerous enemy who will stop at nothing to claim his bondmate's life.

A menacing world of strange talents and ancient beings stands between Sky and his freedom...and he'll stop at nothing to get it back.
