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.

Blood and Fire

When the sky began lightening, Harun started looking for a good place to stop. He was exhausted. He’d been getting far too little sleep this whole time, and yesterday’s brief nap certainly hadn’t been adequate. Not to mention the exertion of all this running, and last night’s adrenaline rush. No doubt Kelwyn could use some rest too. Also, they should probably talk. As far as he knew this was the first time Kelwyn had ever killed anyone. That kind of thing usually needed some working through, not to mention what else might have happened while he’d been held captive.


Harun tried not to shy away from that thought too much. The obviously sexual nature of the vampire’s interest in Kelwyn made him worry about what might have happened, but he couldn’t go back in time and prevent it, he could only try as best he could to help Kelwyn deal with whatever had been done to him.
