In 1683 the first boat carrying fey landed in Virginia. Receiving ill welcome from the young American colonies, most of the passengers and the ones who followed after chose to go west, eventually establishing the new kingdom of Western Faerie in the Pacific Northwest. Distrust of Faerie persisted in the east and traveled outwards as the United States and its ally, the Kingdom of Texas, spread west into the lands bordering those claimed by the fey. Two years ago Kris Allen, lost to himself after a bitter three-year war, answered a newspaper ad and headed west to the chaotic borderland known as South California. He'd hoped, in a land with no loyalties, he could find respite from his own divided nature. What he found was something else.

Tommy should have known that something was up when the guy had walked into the restaurant and he’d immediately been drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Tommy had never really thought that instant attraction was real, but it sure felt like he had been wrong. And after what he thinks is just a simple one-night stand, it turns out that he was right after all. Instant attraction really is bullshit, but bonding is apparently all too real. To make things even more complicated, it turns out that he bonded with Adam Lambert – as in Adam Lambert, the rock star. It isn’t the most ideal way of finding a gig, but it’s a simple enough solution to their problem, so Tommy goes on tour with Adam as his bassist while they wait for the bond to run its course. It goes surprisingly well – Tommy fits in great with the band and he and Adam fall into an easy friendship (it doesn’t hurt that the sex is amazing either). It all seems so simple, until Tommy realizes that it’s not.

If Kris ever thought of bonding, he thought of Katy. Not the American Idol, an aloof, self-proclaimed rock star in too much eyeliner and leather. He thought of marriage and love, not a last minute desperate attempt from a stranger to save his life.
