Set in a alternate reality full of paranormal creatures who have come out of the darkness, and a few shared events like 9/11, this is the story of Dante, mortally wounded by his enemies, and the much younger Bren, guardian of a healing spring Dante needs if he wants to survive. Like any well developed alternate world, this story is full of mystery, the discovery of rules and how things work, and on top of it there is a wonderful beginning of a love story that promises a bright future for Dante and Bren if they can make it work.

Dante is on a mission when he gets injured in a brutal attack that involves a deadly poison. His only hope is a remote healing spring, but it is guarded and he doesn’t know if he is welcome. Not that he has any choice, so he approaches and hopes for the best. What happens is better than anything he could have imagined or expected.

Bren is the guardian of said spring, although it slowly emerges that he isn’t supposed to be. Between him and his talking cat (all logically explained, eventually) they manage to maintain an open house for all paranormals needing help. When Bren finally discovers the mysterious flying creature he has been watching in his spring, he is fascinated. As it turns out, there is a lot more between them than either expected.

If you like to explore alternate worlds filled with interesting paranormal creatures, if two men who might have never met if not for the “bad guys” sound interesting, and if you’re looking for a mysterious read with a touch of darkness and a promise of romance, then you might like this short story.
