In the remote hills of northern England lives a powerful clan with a centuries-old secret. They are the drΓ‘kon, shape-shifters who possess the ability to Turnβchanging 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 drΓ‘kon. Since childhood, Lady Amalia Langford, daughter of the clanβs 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 β along with the fate of the drΓ‘kon β rests in the hands of a human man, one who straddles two worlds.
Ruthlessly clever, Zane has risen through Londonβs criminal underworld to become its ruler. Once a street urchin saved by Liaβs mother, Zane is also privy to the secrets of the clan β and is the only human they trust to bring them Draumr. But he does nothing selflessly.
Zaneβs 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 drΓ‘kon to join him, driven by the urgent song of Draumr β 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 Zaneβs, to the one man capable of stealing her future β and destroying her heart....
