Firewalk With Me — Mychael Black

Eight years ago, Kyle Stafford had everything a seventeen-year-old kid could want -- the latest gadgets, the best clothes, the newest sports car, and a palatial home. A single lapse in judgment changed everything. Now he's lucky if he eats once a day. Taking refuge in a small cave to avoid a torrential downpour, he's hoping for a safe place to sleep. What he gets is far from restful… and definitely not safe.

Roen of House Vakeor takes his job as a guard very seriously. When his patrol leads him to one of the hidden portals to the humans' side, he stumbles -- quite literally -- into a young human male sleeping right at his realm's front door. Whether the human knows where the entrance is or not, Roen's duty requires him to take the young man prisoner -- back to House Vakeor.
