The Shadows Beyond

Cinnamon 'Cinn' Saunders thought he'd learnt to control his little ghost problem. That is, until the moment he brings back a malevolent spirit from the shadowrealm, and finds himself unjustly arrested for the murder of four people. After breaking free of foster care and a stint in juvie, all Cinn wanted to do was keep his head down and work his way up to become a professional chef. Now he's forced to make a choice: life in jail, or allow a stranger to whisk him away to a mysterious institute in Switzerland with the promise of learning how to control his supernatural abilities. Julien, the French charismatic charmer who is charged with warding over Cinn, also has a problem: the murder of his sister is still unsolved. He needs help. Help that only Cinn can provide. He'll do anything to get it, including making Cinn an offer that he can't refuse. What Julien doesn't expect is their undeniable connection. Between battling an uprising of deadly creatures that not only threaten the moteblessed community, but the entire planet, and fighting their growing attraction, can this opposites-attract pair overcome their demons to save the world, and each other? Contains mature themes.
