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

“Nathan…I…I’m sorry,” Jim choked out, “I’m so sorry.”


“I remember…everything this time.Everything,” Jim admitted. “God, Nate…I don’t want to scare you like this. I never…never want you to see me like this.”


“Jim,” Nathan said more firmly. He sensed the angst, the self-loathing that was coming, and he didn’t want Jim to keep doing that to himself. Nathan knew he wasn’t one to talk, but it was his job to get on his brother’s case, damn it. “Don’t go blaming yourself for this, Jim. I don’t care if those amber eyes are a part of you, they’re not you. They’re not—”


“They’reme, Nate,” Jim broke in. Both their bodies were leaning into each other for support, with Nathan’s head held against Jim’s chest and Jim’s face pressing into Nathan’s hair. “This is my fault,” Jim said. “Every time I think I can let the walls down a bit, it feels so open…so bare. I can feel everything I’m capable of, Nathan, and I can’t stand it. That’s why I keep putting the walls back up.”
