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

Jim waited patiently, the fury that had been on his face when he killed the Sylph having melted away. He didn’t look sinister. Not really. Not like in Nathan’s dreams. But his power, his anger when he didn’t get what he wanted, was terrifying.


“It’s still Jim, Nathan,” Sasha said. “He’s just split in two—human and changeling; asleep and…Awakened. The human Jim’s been fighting so hard to keep from Awakening fully, but he has to give in. It’s the only way he’ll be able to control it.”


Jim took a few steps toward them, apparently done being patient.


Again, Nathan blocked Sasha, holding his arms outstretched. “No.”


“It’s okay,” Sasha said softly. The incubus stepped up close behind Nathan and placed a hand on his good shoulder. “She gave us a lead. Pittsburg. There’s a dark fae there for sure, we just don’t know the specifics. We can check in with your friend Wade, the psychic, and finally end this. He just wants me to scout ahead.”
