In the remote hills of northern England lives a powerful
clan with a centuries-old secret. They are the drákon,
shape-shifters who possess the ability to Turn—changing
from human to smoke to dragon. And from the very stones of
the earth, they hear hypnotic songs of beauty and wonder.
But there is one stone they fear....
Buried deep within the bowels of the Carpathian Mountains
lies the legendary dreaming diamond known as Draumr, the
only gem with the power to enslave the drákon. Since
childhood, Lady Amalia Langford, daughter of the clan’s
Alpha, has heard its haunting ballad but kept it secret,
along with another rare Gift....
Lia can hear the future, much in the way she hears the call
of Draumr. And in that future, she realizes that the
diamond—along with the fate of the drákon—rests in the
hands of a human man, one who straddles two worlds.
Ruthlessly clever, Zane has risen through London’s criminal
underworld to become its ruler. Once a street urchin saved
by Lia’s mother, Zane is also privy to the secrets of the
clan—and is the only human they trust to bring them Draumr.
But he does nothing selflessly.
Zane’s hunt for the gem takes him to Hungary, where he is
shocked to encounter a bold, beautiful young noblewoman:
Lia. She has broken every rule of the drákon to join him,
driven by the urgent song of Draumr—and her visions of
Zane. In one future, he is her ally. In another, her
overlord. In both, he is her lover. Now, to protect her
tribe, Lia must tie her fate to Zane’s, to the one man
capable of stealing her future—and destroying her heart....
