Hidden among the remote hills of eighteenth-century
England lives a powerful clan of shape-shifters who’ve
become the stuff of myths and legends. They are the drákon —
supersensual creatures with the ability to Turn from human
to smoke to dragon. Now a treacherous new enemy threatens
to destroy their world of magic and glittering power.
For centuries, they thought themselves alone at Darkfrith,
but the arrival of a stunning letter from the Princess
Maricara sent from the Carpathian Mountains of
Transylvania suggests the existence of a lost tribe of
drákon. It is a possibility that the Alpha lord, Kimber
Langford, Earl of Chasen, cannot ignore. For whoever this
unknown princess may be, she’s dangerous enough to know
about the drákon’s existence — and where to find them.
That, as Kimber can’t help but concede, gives her a
decidedly deadly advantage. And, indeed, it wouldn’t be
long before Maricara breached the defenses of Darkfrith and
the walls around Kimber’s heart. But the mystery of the
princess’ real identity and the warning she has come to
deliver, of a brutal serial killer targeting the drákon
themselves,
seem all but impossible to believe. Until the shadowed
threat that stalks her arrives at Darkfrith, and Kimber
and Maricara must stand together against the greatest
enemy the drákon have ever faced—an enemy who may or may
not be one of their own. They have no choice but to yield
to their passionate attraction for each other. But for two
such very different drákon leaders, will an alliance of
body and soul mean their salvation, their extinction…or
both?
