Summary
With such novels as Queen of Dragons and
The Dream Thief," " Shana Abe has created a unique and vividly
imagined world that exists side by side with our own--a realm
populated by a race of supersensual men and women whose power
to change shape permits them unlimited acts of pleasure...and
ever-present danger. Now the survival of the "drakon" rests in
the hands of a young woman with untried and unexpected
powers--and the powerful Alpha male she must break every
"drakon" law to save. The "drakon" are at war, surrounded by an
enemy they have every reason to fear. The "sanf inimicus "are
no ordinary human beings but the most dangerous of hunters.
They've sworn to exterminate the shape-shifters whose presence
they now can detect, and they've already claimed a prize
prisoner: Lord Rhys Langford. It's a blow the "drakon" clans
feel from Darkfrith, England, all the way to the Carpathian
Mountains of Transylvania. But it strikes no one harder than
Zoe Cyprienne Lane. A mere seamstress's daughter, Zoe isn't
even in the same league as Rhys. In fact, as an unwed male in
the Alpha line, according to "drakon" custom, he owns her. So
nothing could be more outrageous--or personally ruinous--than
the mere notion that she might set out on her own to find her
childhood friend...and first true love. But the unexpected is
exactly what Zoe intends to do. For years she's been hiding two
extraordinary Gifts that have set her apart from other "drakon"
females: the power to become invisible and the power to feel
others' emotions. Now, guided by a link to Rhys--his presence
and touch as electric as if he were beside her in the
flesh--Zoe uses both Gifts to infiltrate the "sanf inimicus."
And for Rhys, whose time is running out, Zoe is his last
lifeline to a world--and a love--he never thought he'd regain.
Only together again, hunter and huntress, can they save the
"drakon" from the traitor in their midst who would destroy them
all.
