The second book in the Illusions series.
Martino Harrow's ability to raise living creatures from thought isn't his only secret. He isn't who everyone thinks he is. When his foster mother discovers his true nature, she is furious and heartbroken, and Martino vows to find the human son she lost - Caliban.
In the Fae realm, everyone knows who Caliban is. Lacking magical powers, he's a scam artist relying on tricks and illusions. When a dark Fae master learns of Martino's mission, he picks Caliban to hunt Martino down. Unwilling, Caliban sets out to neutralize the threat to the Fae realm, little knowing that he himself has a target on his back.
When Martino and Caliban finally clash, will they destroy each other? Or can they find a way to join forces?
Changelings is the second book in the innovative Illusions triology by Steve Bartholomew. Starting off where Illusions left Jack and Noreena Harrow, it shifts focus to the next generation. This fantasy thriller follows foster brothers Martino and Caliban, one Fae, the other human, unrelated but inescapably connected over time and dimensions. This book is about 50K words in length.

About the author: Following a previous life, he has turned his attention to telling stories about the Old West during the 19th and early 20th centuries. He has discovered there are thousands of untold stories to be found in old newspapers, magazines, and sometimes even history books. The stories he writes are mostly made-up fiction, but then so are a lot of history books. He has learned that what people most value are not the bare bone facts of the past, but the stories we tell about them. Steve (whose friends mostly refer to him as "Bart") derives his idea from listening to people, walking around old neighborhoods, and a lot of reading. As for his previous life, he had an undistinguished career in civil service. His first actual job was in the U.S. Army. Someday he may write a book titled "All I Need to Know I learned in the Army." He now lives in a rural part of northern California, where he likes to listen to folks and look at trees.
