The first book in Marjorie M. Liu's extraordinary Dirk &
Steele Series! Long ago they roamed the earth — dragons,
tigers . . . shapeshifters — men who wore the forms of
beasts. Their world was magic. Now it is gone. But some
remain . . . He looks out of place in Dela Reese’s Beijing
hotel room— exotic and poignant, some mythic, tragic hero
of an epic tale. With his feline yellow eyes, he’s like
nothing from her world. Yet Dela has danced through the
echo of his soul and knows this warrior will obey her
every command. Hari has been used and abused for
millennia. But he sees, upon his release from the riddle
box, that this new mistress is different. There is a
hidden power in Dela’s eyes—and with her, he may regain
all that was lost to him. Where once he savaged, now he
must protect; where before he knew only hatred, now he
must embrace love. Dela is the key. For Dela, he will risk
all.
