The Bloodstone - Paperback

These aren't the vampires you know.

Sixteen years have passed since the corrupt Council of the First was purged. Since then, the Nash'terel, shapeshifting essence vampires from a distant world, have resumed their quiet lives on Earth, hiding their true nature from their human prey.

In small town Ontario, Travis lives with his adoptive grandpas, dividing his time between school and hockey practice. Everyone, including Travis, thinks he's an ordinary Canadian teen, until a series of uncontrolled shapeshifts and a growing telekinetic talent reveal his Nash'terel heritage. Having "superpowers" sounds great, until he has to put his dream of NHL stardom on hold and move across the country to train them.

He may not be happy, but he's going to need control of those powers in order to survive. Someone has put a bounty on dashkra, the alien mineral that all Nash'terel carry inside them. While Travis struggles to adjust to his new existence, his grandpas and their contacts must work to find out who has turned their kind into prey-yet again.
