Extended Main Character Blurbs:
Meet Lee
Born in what is now Korea, Lee traveled the Silk Road through various means to stay alive. She always knew, as a human male, she was different, and not just because she's a catshifter. Meeting Frey and Nephtyri in Paris changed her life in ways she had never planned. Accepting her merna lineage came with accepting her true identity. Ever since their first walk on the riverbank together, though, Frey's consistent love and flirtation forced her to face her greatest enemy: commitment to self and others.
Meet Frey
Hailing from French wine country, the ever-wild Frey doesn't take orders well. Nephtyri might be his adoptive mother, but she cannot save him from his own self-sabotage. When the Hunters capture Lee, the distraught vampire Turnling disappears for, as he says, “Six weeks but three years,” making him realize he just might be a realmwalker. Will his newfound ability help him get Lee back, or will it be the reason he blunders yet again, disappointing her and his found family?
