La série écrite par l'auteure de "chasseuse de vampires" nous offre ici une saga à héros multiples (un livre = un héros)
mélant deux genres de "créatures" surnaturelles. Les psi d'un côté, les changelings de l'autre (d'où le titre, c'est clair non?? lol). On va aussi croiser quelques humains dans la série.
Les psi: personnes possédant des pouvoirs psychiques et ne ressentant aucune émotions suite au programme "Silence" censé leur permettre d'enrayer la violence et les crimes dans leur race.
Les changelings: sorte de croisement entre humain et animal. Ils sont plus forts et plus rapides et ont besoin de contacts et vivent en meute ou clan. On va suivre principalement 2 meutes: les dark river (léopards) et les Snowdancer (loups)
La série compte actuellement 11 tomes, quelques deleted scenes et des short stories...(source: http://www.nalinisingh.com/psy.php)

For Riaz, the primal attraction he feels for Adria is a staggering betrayal. For Adria, his dangerous lone-wolf appeal is beyond sexual. It consumes her. It terrifies her. It threatens to undermine everything she has built of her new life. But fighting their wild compulsion toward one another proves a losing battle.
Their coming together is an inferno…and a melding of two wounded souls who promise each other no commitment, no ties, no bonds. Only pleasure. Too late, they realize that they have more to lose than they ever imagined.
