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 almost fell face-first into the carpet. “Jesus,” he grumbled, steadying himself. “Talk about wham, bam, thank you, ma’am, the fucker.” He wiped at his mouth, still feeling the presence of that tongue and the taste of something he could only describe as sinister. He shuddered.


Jim stood from the sofa, and when Nathan turned to his brother he saw an expression that Jim usually only wore when Nathan had said a bad pun.


“That name. Malak? It means ‘angel’ in Arabic. I guess he was trying to be ironic.”


Nathan huffed. He realized then that Sasha hadn’t stood yet. He was still on the sofa. And he looked terrified. “Sasha…?”


“It’s just…uhh…well,Malakmeans something else too. It does mean angel, in Arabic and other languages. But for some, it means a very specific angel.” Sasha swallowed deep in his throat. “The first angel who fell. The same name as the king of all dark sidhe.”
