Inkbound

Giles has always felt different, like he's never truly belonged, and it isn't until he meets others of his kind that he discovers his true nature. As an Earthbound, he's both human and Immortal, born to protect the world from an ancient race of beings with the collective power to destroy the universe.

He embraces his mission and devotes his life to imprisoning every malevolent creature he encounters. But when a routine binding goes awry and his target escapes, Giles, who has never been outside California, must travel halfway across the world to the Philippines, where the runaway phantom has taken up residence.

Shaken by his mistake and afraid of failing again, he must venture far beyond his comfort zone to confront the evil creature once and for all. But this time it knows Giles is coming, and it will do anything in its power to stop him...

Inkbound is a spellbinding novelette about magic, the supernatural, and the darkness that dwells inside each one of us.
