Preston Walker

Moonstone's Son Preston Walker

Two thousand years ago, humans took to the stars in search of life on other worlds. After a thousand years in stasis, they landed on Nidum; a small, fertile planet populated by Shifters. The two species struggled for a thousand years to find peace, and finally settled into an uneasy sort of equilibrium. Brandon is oblivious to the underlying conflict between the species. In fact, he isn't even sure that shifters are real. He was raised in an utterly sheltered environment, kept safely away from everything his father considered to be a bad influence. Everything, that is, except Eli. Eli is a wanderer. He's a wolf shifter who can't seem to settle down, though he has developed deep feelings for Brandon. He senses that there's more to Brandon than meets the eye, though Brandon seems to be unwilling to share his secrets. During an intimate moment in Brandon's bed, Eli makes the biggest mistake of his life: He shifts into wolf form without warning. Shocked and terrified, Brandon banishes Eli from his home. Brandon thinks that's the end of it; until he shifts himself a few weeks later. When Eli returns to try and make amends, he discovers that Brandon is moonlocked. He can't control his body, and shifts in spite of every attempt not to any time the moon is full. Eli, concerned for Brandon's well-being, whisks him away on an adventure despite Brandon's protests. Over the course of their travels, Brandon discovers how the world really works; and what dark forces lie in wait for him.
