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 ...

“What are you trying to start?” he asked, and Talfryn reached up to take his hand, drag it down over his aching cock. It seemed like so long ago since he and Akton had fucked, and he wanted a repeat. Without the awkwardness afterward.

“Hah,” said Talfryn, thrusting against Akton’s palm. “I think you already wanted to. You were afraid.”


“Don’t make me tickle you,” said Akton, pressing his cock against Talfryn’s ass.
