A Time of Blood and Fire

Bred to blend in with humans, teams of Argon changelings spread across The Earth in order to hunt Mystics that sent the greater universe (The Harn) into near chaos. Ashdasoc, a changeling and one of the twin Princes from the world of Inathduard, meets Blu Harris, a painter, in New York's East Village. Blu is a sensuous Afro-American with a tragic past and an unusual mystical energy that Ash resonates to. The two become lovers until Ash reveals that he had been crafted from these fearsome creatures. Blu becomes trapped in the war between The Argon and powerful Mystics, who drained worlds of magical life to create a dangerously addictive drug that enhances creativity. Yet the lovers never expect the explosive hatred and madness of Ash's twin brother Set. As Ash goes on a desperate search for the only Mystic whom their father trusts, Set's rage towards Blu detonates and his violence triggers centuries-old magic buried within her.
