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.

Since he was free of Alex’s hold on him after they had covered their ears, and trusting that she was safest in Sasha’s wings anyway, Nathan pushed his way out, moving fast to be sure Sasha didn’t try to pull him back.

Jim had fallen to his knees, his arms still outstretched, as the sidhe he was sending back into the Veil howled on and some of the other creatures began to close in.

Nathan could see the glint of blood seeping from Jim’s ears, his nose, even his eyes.
