Description
A queer love story with a dark magical twist, from an astonishing new Irish voice.
Be careful. The dark is listening.
Hanan is supposed to be dead. The forest outside Skenashogue sent him home alive - but changed. A strange new magic makes every emotion a physical force he can't control.
Bright and gentle, fox-like Pax is everything Hanan is not. And when he touches Hanan he mutes his secret power, quiets the curse.
To survive their own darknesses they'll need to be honest with each other. But Hanan isn't sure Pax will like what he finds out...
Can their love help them find their way back to the light?
For fans of Daniel Jose Older.
