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

“And Sasha,” Jim said, “you have to know that beating those guys up doesn’t solve anything. It just gives them more reason to hate people different from them.”


“Maybe. Maybe not,” Sasha said. “But do you really think people like that ever change? If nothing else, maybe now they’ll think twice about doing that to the next guy.”


They sat in silence. Then the moment was shattered by a loud grumble from Nathan’s stomach.


“What?” He raised his good eyebrow. “It’s after noon!”


Jim chuckled. “Fine. Let me take a shower and then we can get out of here and get something to eat.”


Nathan took the moment of reprieve to gulp down an eager mouthful of coffee.


“Nathan?” Sasha said quietly once Jim had disappeared into the bathroom. “You don’t…think you deserved that beating, do you?”


“What?” Nathan sputtered. “No. Why would I? And why would you even ask that?”


Sasha frowned but didn’t elaborate. Nathan heard the unspoken words anyway.
