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

Kelwyn mentally replaced the baby in his happy picture of a future evening as a family by the fire with a large kitten with flame-tipped tail, and wanted to laugh. Maybe that would be the case. It could be no stranger than the rest of his current situation.


All that was for the future, though. While he’d been musing they’d reached the Dancing Dragon and it was time to share the happy—if more than a little peculiar—news of their impending fatherhood with their friends.


It was received with a cheer, though Kelwyn and Harun ended up explaining things half a dozen times to the curious and puzzled. They settled themselves at a table, Harun with a small beer and Kelwyn with a cider, and neither minded the questions. Eventually everyone who wanted to know more than the news itself seemed satisfied, and the two were left to themselves.
