"I've got to get to him. I can't let him do that to anyone else. It freaks me out to think he might be connected to my dad ..."

After saving the life of his friend—a long time crush—Lucie, Owen Ryder is shocked to find her avoiding him at all costs. So when a bold and beautiful new girl takes interest in him, Owen agrees to go on a date. Little did he know, dating Tess would put him on a new and dangerous case to chase down a drug dealer with foul ambitions. He's ready—this is what he has been training for.

What he isn't ready for is the realization that his father is being manipulated by a wicked new enemy. Neither is he prepared for that enemy to be employing the talents of a violent dark watcher. All the while, a new set of visions and whispers haunt his waking moments ...

Owen Ryder returns to school for a new year, ready to take on new mysteries, the complexities of dating, new crazy training methods, and ... football?

"Poor Owen has to navigate school, a serial murderer, dark watchers, and a new girlfriend all while continuing his learning and helping his family which is on the brink of falling apart!"
-Laurie Bell, author of The Stones of Power series

"Owen is back! This time, however, he isn't alone in the world. Every great action has a reaction, and a watcher as talented as Owen was bound to have his polar opposites out there, just waiting to strike."

-C. Michael McGannon, best-selling author of the Charlie Sullivan and the Monster Hunters series
