Some creatures are better left to the darkness ... From the moment he saw his first shade, Jimmy Hobart knew he was different. Special-that's what his mother called him. He didn't feel special, carrying a secret he couldn't share with anyone else. Burdened would be more accurate. But it was his gift that eventually led him to Roni and showed him she was the one. He thought he could trust her with his secret. He thought he could tell her anything ... He wished he had. The presence on Woody Creek Lane wasn't like the others he'd encountered. This one wanted something. Will Jimmy figure out what that is before it's too late?
