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

The thought made Nathan shiver. He didn’t even know for certain what was happening. The damn cave, some evil hot spot that pulsed with power he, as a normal human, couldn’t feel was stripping the two people that meant most to him of every part of them that wasn’t dark. It was just a theory, it might not be true, but Jim had sounded so sure as he and Sasha howled and changed. The only option Nathan had been left with was to run.


He had long since released Alex’s wrist, unable to hang on in the passageway as it began to narrow. Still, he was constantly looking behind him to be sure she was there and that they had no pursuers.


For several minutes they could still hear the cries of Jim and Sasha. Nathan wanted to turn around so badly, but his better judgment kept him moving forward. Later, he would have more time to dwell on how this was all his fault.
