Nathan Grier’s dark fae bounty looms overhead. As he faces the very real threat of becoming a slave to the bounty’s owner, his brother Jim uses his changeling abilities more and more trying to save him.<br><br>Every changeling throughout history turns evil once their powers manifest, meaning time may be running out for both of them as Jim nears True Awakening.

Changeling

The words, “It’s okay, Jim,” danced on Nathan’s tongue, but he couldn’t say them. It wasn’t okay. It was as far from okay as things could get. “Jim…” Nathan tried, just sitting there on the floor in the dark as Jim sat up next to him and looked on imploringly, “do you know what’s happening?”


Jim’s brow creased. “Happening? What’s happening? Did I…” Jim glanced frantically around the room, finally returning his wide blue stare onto Nathan. “Did I sleepwalk again?”

I just…I wake up sometimes…out of bed. But never too far. The farthest I’ve ever been was the bathroom. I think I just have too much on my mind, that’s all.”


“Do you remember anything from when it happens?”
