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

They’d made camp in a dense patch of scrub oak, short trees that grew closely together, so it didn’t take long to get out of sight of the fire. They threaded their way through the shadowed trees until they were a good distance from even the least glimpse of firelight. Kelwyn could see in the dark like never before now, so he took the lead. Harun had good night vision in his feline form, but he kept his human shape, which was just as well.


Kelwyn found himself wondering, as he walked, what it would be like to make love to Harun as a fire-lion. It seemed like it might not work, and might be far too strange, but he was curious all the same. He put that thought aside for now, though and halted, well out of sight—and out of hearing—of those still gathered around the fire.
