Description

All his life, Jaime Skye knew he was different. Cursed with a power beyond his understanding, a power he's striven to hide. A power that makes him a target. Or a weapon. Stolen from his homeland, divided from his friends, Jaime finds himself at the mercy of a devious mage on a mission to capture a monster of legend. A monster Jaime must tame, or die in the attempt. A task he alone can undertake, for the monster dwells at the bottom of a lake. A lake deeper than nearly any on earth. Cold, dark, and deadly. To anyone but a Skye, that is, for a Waterman cannot drown, can call down the rain, raise the waves with his mind. If only Jaime knew how.

As dry and hard as the land of his birth, Cary Robb has spent his life in service of a law he despises. Fleeing his betrayals, he is drawn into a terrible debt to a man of pure evil, whose minion is on the hunt for something unspeakable in the wilds of colonial Canada. Cary's only task on the dangerous venture is to mind one miserable man. A man who seems like nothing at all, until he shows the depths of his powers. A man he must protect, at first for the sake of their lives, and then for the sake of his soul.

A heart-felt Achillean Aro/Ace story of companionship and devotion and a chilling tale of old monsters, new worlds, and the secrets that dwell within the human heart.
