Story
Jason Kilkenny is a quarter-human, vassal of the queen of the Fae, and the neutral arbiter of supernatural affairs around the Fae Court in the Canadian city of Calgary. He has spent half a year building relationships with the existing power structure - but all of that is thrown into chaos when the Fae leadership dictates that Calgary’s Court split into Seelie and Unseelie factions. Backed by the highest authority, the new Lord Andrell is there to build an Unseelie Court from nothing, and he will brook no interference, no challenges.

A paranormal agency in tatters. A critical alliance that must not fail. A betrayal in their darkest hour.

The agencies of the Omicron branch of the US government face a newly expanded threat with their resources stretched to the breaking point. To hold the line, newly promoted Commander David White of ONSET is sent to forge an alliance with the Elfin Conclave, a supernatural organization with its own history, grudges, and politics.

The alliance with the Elfin Warriors has allowed the US government’s supernatural forces, the Omicron Branch, to hold the line against the demons and take the war to the Vampire Familias, defeating them in battle and reclaiming their resources. Victory against the vampires, however, leaves David White with a moral dilemma as he captures an entire convoy of freshly turned vampires: beyond saving, but innocent of their species’ crimes. Duty only allows one fate for them - but then an ancient vampire arrives to negotiate for their freedom.

Publisher's Summary
A ragged newcomer...with a secret even he doesn’t know
A backwater city...with a countdown to an explosion no one is expecting
A secret Covenant...and a conspiracy to break it to pieces
Jason Kilkenny is a new arrival in the Canadian city of Calgary. Unlike most newcomers, Jason isn’t looking for a job in oil and gas: he’s a half-fae changeling that wants to get away from the politics of the inhuman races.
He soon learns that despite being a supernatural backwater, the city is run by a near-godlike Wizard - and the shadows are full of unseen dangers. Jason’s here to hide, but he finds himself called to service by Calgary’s understaffed Fae Court.
As supernatural politics collide in his new home, Jason’s plan to keep his head down is shattered and he finds himself testing the limits of his meager gifts. He cannot run, he cannot hide...and if he loses, he loses everything.

not sure about narrator
I have read this book previously but found myself in need of a audio book to lessen to fast and decided to give the audio a go. The story is amazing which I expected as I had previously read and loved the book.
I am so sure if I like the narrator or not though and is a bit frustrating as a result. The narrator has a southern accent (I have to assume this part as I'm from Seattle) which goes perfectly with the main character who is from the south. But he speaks so slowly, it's not annoying but is not what I'm used to. My sister doesn't like the narration but I found that I did not take away from the story.

A tad formulaic, but still excellent
All of Glynn Stewart's works follow a basic formula, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. This isn't a story that requires deep thought our analysis -- it's a mystical romp through one of Stewart's well-crafted worlds. The story is intricate but not complicated, a standard progression of pawn to the furthest rank, at quick time it is elevated to great power and authority. But the character earns it's enlargement.
This story fulfills this pattern well, and entertains as it happens. The characters are likeable and well formed. The villains are vicious and venal and crafted to their roles. It isn't Dune, but heck, it'd be boring of every story was.
A good read. You won't regret picking it up.

EXCELLENT START TO A NEW SERIES
Most enjoyable. Jason Kilkenny, the protagonist is an interesting character. He is a half-Fae changeling, a new comer to Calgary and trying to just get a job and live a normal life. But instead he finds himself being pulled into the supernatural world and end up helping the humans and non-humans in need. An excellent hero. Glynn Stewart is one of my favourite writer and his books are so good. The narrator, Alexander Edward Trefethen did quite well and his voices for the different characters is easy to differentiate. I hope book 2 will be published soon.

I find this book more fun to read than to listen
If you could sum up Changeling's Fealty in three words, what would they be?
Remove the need to have the (very good narrator) use a southern accent for the protagonist. This is not his fault as the accent is a minor plot point but I found it jarring. the reader does not try canadian accents for the Calgary natives so there is a whole heavy southern drawl juxtaposed with standard USA newsreader accents for most of the rest of the cast.
What did you like best about this story?
the world building and the politics of the non human types set in a Canadian city. The abilities deferential between the various races of the unhumans that are delineated so well by the author.
What three words best describe Alexander Edward Trefethen’s voice?
uneven individual characterization
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
yes but it would be a major spoiler to discuss it
Any additional comments?
The story is more than good enough for me to want to read future episodes but the accent problems I have will mitigate against getting the audible versions

Great story but not action packed
The preview note says this is an action packed book but it is far from it. Yes there are many action sequences but most is not action packed.

Another very well imagined fantasy universe.
As I cannot write I am always very impressed when an author manages to produce two or more distinct scenarios without obvious recycling of concepts.
Having been drawn to Mr Stewart's writing by a binge reading of the Starship Mage series I was pleased to find such a well imagined and different world as Calgary with this story.
The quality of narration was in my opinion top class and helped build a mental landscape that transports the listener into the story.
I dont think you can ask more of a book than that...

Unexpected but I loved it
It took me a while to decide to read / listen to this as I was introduced to Mr Stewart’s space opera stories first. His talents in world building, pacing and character development however are just as good here. This is about a seemingly ordinary guy, who happens to be fae, a kind of refugee arriving in a new city in order to escape the politics and intrigue inherent in his old life. Despite his best efforts an unknown family history leads to further adventure and turmoil. I don’t want to give too much away but I’d highly recommend it.
