Generations ago, shifters -- many with magic powers -- were accepted throughout Emylnor. But a war with the nearby dragon nation bred concern, and though Emylnor's forces beat back the invasion, the shifters retreated into hiding.<br><br>Akton is a weasel shifter who seems to have no magical talents. When he is hunted, Talfryn joins the fight, finally able to flex his salamander flame powers. But while they make a good team, the thrill quickly wears off when they uncover recruitment orders. A shifter named Basil is building an army.<br><br>Someone has to warn Queen Ylenia before Basil can launch Emylnor into another war.

But to stop Basil, they need to learn to trust each other completely, and fast. Or all of Emylnor will burn ...

Flame and Snow

Talfryn almost thought he loved him in that moment. This man who knew him, all of him, who was willingly risking his life alongside Talfryn when he could simply throw up his hands and return home. Who saw Talfryn in his shifted form and still held him close all night.


But the pounding was putting him over the edge, and Akton unexpectedly clenched his ass around him. He was releasing all over himself, face taut, eyes shut, and Talfryn couldn’t hold back. The thrill of release traveled through him, and when Akton’s ass let up he rode out the sensations a little longer, not wanting any of it to end.


“Hey,” said Akton, then gasped as Talfryn drove deep one final time before pulling out. He grinned at Akton, both of them still panting.


“I’d gladly wake up to this every morning,” said Talfryn, helping Akton clean himself up. Akton groaned.


“Shit, now I want to go back to sleep,” he said, and Talfryn laughed, leaned down to kiss him again.
