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. Fae hunter and incubus Sasha Kelly is prophesized to save Nathan, but while Nathan has embraced his feelings for the other man, he fears their time together will be cut short -- either from his impending fate ... or Jim’s.

Changeling

“Hey. Come on, cut this shit out. You need to talk about what happened, fine. We’ll do that. But I need you to look at me.”


Jim was behind them, stuck halfway out the door because of how they had stopped. Pain and something like guilt was what Nathan saw when Sasha finally turned to look at him. The incubus’ eyes were so wet that Nathan had to wonder if there had been tears shed in the car he hadn’t seen.


Sasha turned in Nathan’s grip, twisting his arm so that Nathan had to let go. “I…I think I just want to go to bed.”


“Okay. Sure,” Nathan nodded. “We’ll just go to bed.”


Sasha’s face cracked further into anguish and he shook his head. “Notwe, Nathan. Just me. Just me in my room. And you two in yours.”
