They fight to protect those who would
never welcome them into the human world...
Petúr
always knew he and his brothers-in-arms were different. Something more.
Something not human. Yet, he never expected to find out the truth of their
origins, nor fall for a human woman whose father was set to destroy
Neverland.
Ever
since she was a child, Wyndi dreamed of an angel with eyes of the purest gold,
although she never really believed such a man existed until she met the
hauntingly beautiful Petúr of the lost boys.
With
a prophecy to fulfill, a woman to protect, a portal to find, and evil darklings
out for blood, will Petúr be strong enough to rise up and claim what’s
rightfully his, or lose everything to a long-time nemesis, Grapple the Dark?

Excerpt:
Petúr’s
long coat flared out behind him, whipping in the wind—black raven wings. Above
him, the moon danced in and out of existence and periodically hid behind the
dreary clouds. He’d perched himself atop the rusted metal monstrosity which sat
cold and derelict among the ruins of the abandoned seaside amusement park. From
the top of the lifeless Ferris wheel he surveyed his realm, just as he did
every night, waiting for the faint cries. They always came, those haunting
cries, and called him and the lost boys into the darkness.
Cables
clacked and Petúr tilted his head in a bird-like gesture, listening to them
echo into the rhythmic music of the tide coming ashore. As if on cue, an eerie
underlying chorus chimed in from the direction of the closed ticket booth. He
recognized the sound of the warped roof when it moaned and creaked. The red
painted exterior walls had long since faded and peeled away from the briny wood
in elongated streaks, reminiscent of morbid tears.
He
closed his eyes and attempted to picture this place he and the others called
home, trying to imagine what it must have been during its glory days, but he
couldn’t see anything. All he knew was the truth of his surroundings. And, the
truth was, with every passing year more of his home crumbled. Even the entrance
into this collapsing kingdom had joined the sea, snuffing out the arched sign
which once upon a time blinked—Neverland—Mother Nature’s way of taking back her
own when she’d claimed a major portion of the boardwalk.
Everything ends.
At
least this parcel of land had done one thing. It gave Petúr and the others
refuge from a world who’d discarded them as young boys.
He
chuckled, darkly, and allowed his mind to wander away from the image of being a
boy. He, Firefox, and his five other brothers may still exhibit the outward
beauty of youthfulness, yet this was nothing but a façade.
They’d grown into fierce warriors and protected the very people who’d spat upon
them in their youth. Who would still spit upon them if they got the chance, he
suspected.
Shaking
his head, Petúr considered what he’d heard the whole of his life may indeed be
true. He and the others may well be mad, because only madmen would fight to
protect those who would never welcome them fully into the human world they’d
had the misfortune of being a part of.
Balling
his fists into tight knots, he knew it didn’t matter how many lives he and the
others saved. They were still different from those whom they rescued. And,
while they may no longer be petty thieves and beggars, they’d always been, and
still were—outcasts. Unnatural. Freaks. Something more. Something not human.
Although, there wasn’t a damn thing they could do about it, other than to take
out their fury on those darklings who sought to destroy the weaker inhabitants
of the human race. And take out their fury—they would.
“AAaiiee!”
Petúr
abruptly stood when he heard a woman’s distressed scream. He took in a deep
breath, tasting the flavor of the night. His lip curled up into a snarl right
before he stepped off of his perch, shot into the clouds, and vanished into
thin air.
