A traumatic event in his childhood keeps Tuxtax from being able to shift into his were-griffin form. Ashamed of his looks and terrified of rejection, he spends his life in seclusion, with his sister Eleuthereia and centaur friend Rixa as his only connections to the outside world. Even though Tuxtax yearns to be with the elfin soulmate he had met before the accident, the vanth’s insecurity and self-doubt keep him from reaching out.
But now Rixa needs his help. Tuxtax joins his friend on a desperate rescue mission to save the centaur’s pregnant soulmate, hoping that the quest will give him a chance to overcome his insecurities and prove himself. Their rescue mission leads him back into the land of the elves, where Tuxtax must confront his past and the fears that are holding him back.
The further Tuxtax travels, the louder he hears his soulmate’s call. Can Tuxtax find the courage he needs to return to his soulmate and reclaim the man of his dreams?
Chapter 1Tuxtax ran into his sister’s bedroom in a panic. Shaking her dappled wings to wake her, he shouted, “El, help!” His sister awoke with a gasp; she shot out of bed as soon as she saw his bloodied form. “What’s wrong? What happened? Tax, you’re covered in blood!” “It’s not me. Rixa’s been hurt! Someone attacked him—he’s unconscious and bleeding. We need to help him.” Eleuthereia sighed in relief. “You frightened me! I saw you covered in blood and I thought…” Tuxtax ruffled his bronze wings, agitated by her overprotective nature. Wiping the gore from his hands onto his linen kilt, he huffed in impatience. “El, I’m fine. I found him on my pre-dawn flight. I tried to lift him to carry him back here, but he’s too heavy.” “What were you thinking? Of course he’d be too heavy for you.”
