Royal Scales

A part-time enforcer, all Jay cared about was those closest to him and a job that let him hit people. That was before a betrayal sent him packing. Four years later he's back, but his former boss thinks he lost his edge. Reduced to proving himself, he's thrown a straightforward task: collect on an overdue debt from some elf.As if life was ever that simple. With a vampire ex-girlfriend out for blood and a friend caught up in something dangerous, he has his work cut out for him. Jay always thought he was human, but his search for the elf raises questions that threaten his identity.

A reluctant bodyguard, Jay now faces a lofty challenge, protect Kahina his no-longer-an-ex-girlfriend during her transformation into a full-fledged vampire. Sounds simple enough, except the odds are stacked against him; angry wolves, partial vampires, human extremists all seek to destroy her before she completes the change.

Without his memories, Jay's body holds power that is beyond his understanding. Slowly, as he revisits old haunts, his memory begins to return in vivid flashes, but he can't make sense of the things he remembers. Each use of his abilities reveals something darker and more primal, building a need for release–a release that remains out of his reach as he can't tap into this need and what form it should take.The Hidden could help but they have plans of their own which require Jay to stay clueless.Without full access to his memories Jay can't tell friend from foe and flounders in a world he can't understand.
