Sinopse

One reckless decision can change a life.
 
David Sandoval is a sixteen-year-old genius, more content with studying than being with family or friends. When he is abducted by a gypsy caravan owned by a living Grecian sphinx, he is taken on an adventure through the Curtain, the gateway between our world and the worlds of the "unseen," where many creatures of myth and legend reside.
 
After discovering that he has unwittingly proposed to the sphinx, David attempts to escape back through the Curtain to the human world, only to be sent to Kyoto, Japan, where he learns a dark secret: a Shade, an extension of the shadowy Night Goddess Nyx, is slowly draining the sphinx of her most precious talents.
 
David might be the only human on earth with the knowledge to save her, and he must also save his new friends from a ruthless adversary known as the Teumessian.
 
Can one normal boy truly undo the inflictions of a goddess, and rescue both the seen and unseen worlds from her dark intentions?

    My dad has been the coach of the Charleston Coyotes for as long as I can remember. All the time I've spent in ice rinks has taught me two things: 
     
     
     
    1. I will NEVER date a hockey player. As a single mom, it's not like I have time for romance anyway. 
     
     
     
    2. Nothing smells worse than hockey players after a game. And I work as a dog groomer, so I have experience with smelly animals. 
     
     
     
    It's amazing how quickly my rules are forgotten when Darius walks into my pet salon. Tall, dark, and tattooed with rippling muscles and a perfect smile must be my kryptonite, because I find myself agreeing to go out with him. 
     
     
     
    But we're both keeping secrets we're not ready to share. And when they finally come out, everything changes between us. I do my best to keep my distance from him. 
     
     
     
    Yet, the more I fight my feelings, the more I find myself wanting the winger. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
