Against his will, Lord Tian has fallen for a magical land creature-a gnome. A prophecy says he must wed a land creature and become a destroyer and spy. But he can't resist Alastair or the BDSM games they play. Alastair is trying to spy on Tian's mother and preserve the balance of the natural world. Needing Tian in his bed and in his heart does nothing but disrupt his plans. But prophecies are often right-and misunderstood. When Tian and Alastair play at BDSM and love they set in motion the destruction of the status quo.
