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.

The mage withdrew, and the healing warmth did also, but the pain was gone. Velanis was very good.


“What happened? Belak found you here and came to get me. Didn’t you leave with Kelwyn?”


“Kelwyn! Gods. That crazy vampire turned up again. I guess he survived after all. Next time I’ll burn him to ash,” snarled Harun, sitting up as he spoke.


Her Majesty only gave a short nod. “Given what you have reported of him, I assume he carried Kelwyn off again?”


Harun tried not to curse. That was far more of a lead than he wanted Lucretious to have. He picked himself up off the street, glanced around, then gave a mental shrug and started to strip. Now was not the time to worry about modesty. Neither of his companions looked surprised, they both had seen him change often enough. Indeed Velanis gathered up his clothes and tucked them into a pocket, where they vanished as if they weren’t there. One of his little magical tricks, no doubt.
