Kelwyn Grayson is just one more faceless runaway on the streets of Tower City. Among elves, gnolls, and dragons, one winged boy fades into the background of life in the Eternal Kingdom.  But when he cuts the purse of the handsome were-lion Harun Rashid, he finds himself dragged out of the crowd.<br><br>Rather than a cell, however, Harun offers a helping hand to set Kelwyn on the road to a respectable, peaceful life ... if he could just bring himself to stop flirting shamelessly with Harun, keep his sticky fingers to himself, and avoid bringing the wrath of a powerful, mad vampire down on his head.<br><br>But even faced with Kelwyn's death -- or undeath -- Harun will not give up on him, and Kelwyn will not give up on finding his way to sharing that peaceful life with Harun.  Two men, love, and magic are bound and determined to find their way to their shared dream of a future -- and family.

That meant that the vampire had been able to travel without stopping. Harun had rested as little as he could, but the journey to the coast was three days’ travel, even at a good pace, and that was longer than he could go without any kind of sleep or break. He had, in fact, given in and rented a carriage of his own on the second day, so he hadn’t lost any further time after the nap he’d been forced to take the first night, but the regular ship carrying passengers across to Jorland only went once a day, and he’d arrived too late to board—or to stop—the one the vampire had taken. He had caught Kelwyn’s scent on the pier, though, and again on the ship once he was aboard. He’d been there, and he’d been alive, which was hopeful news.


Harun still had no idea why a vampire would kidnap Kelwyn and carry him off like this, but whatever the kidnapper’s reasons, he seemed to want Kelwyn alive.
