The Aberforth Gift

In a world where creatures of all kind are supposed to live together in peace and harmony, a rising evil threatens to tear it apart.

James Christopherson always knew he was different. From an early age, he had a knack for trouble, often stealing food from the marketplace of whatever town his Uncle Lucas had moved them to.Part of the reason for their relocating, however, was due to James' lack of control over his unique gift. His uncle always warned him not to use his gift in public-a rule he eventually learned to break-and after an accident in the middle of town, James finds himself the target of an evil with which he knows nothing of.
After strange creatures known as Shifters attack his village and kidnap his uncle, he is taken to Raybourough, a safe place for people like him...or so he thought.
While trying to understand his gift, James teams up with an elf and another human to rescue his uncle from the grasps of the Shifters, even if it means entering into the darkest reaches of their lair and coming face to face with a realization he had been blind to his entire life.
