The ability to turn from human to smoke to dragon, and then
back to human form, has set apart and isolated the shape-
shifting drákon clan of Darkfrith from the rest of the
world. They have been hunted for years. Thinking themselves
to be the lone surviving drákon, Alpha Lord, Kimber
Langford, Earl of Chasen, is shocked to receive a letter
from his long-lost sister, Lia, telling him about another
such clan living in the Carpathian Mountains of
Transylvania.
When another letter arrives, this time from the ruler of
the other drákon tribe, Princess Maricara (Mari), Kim
starts to believe in their existence. But this also means
that they know of his existence, which could prove to be
quite dangerous. This fact is proven when the mysterious
and beautiful princess arrives in Darkfrith unexpectedly
with the awful news that a serial killer is targeting her --
and all of the remaining drákon. Of course, the killer and
his evil band of henchmen have followed Mari.
Once Kim sets his eyes on Mari, he knows she is the one
destined to be his mate. Proving it to her, however, will
not be an easy task, and neither will protecting her from
the killer. This young woman has a mind of her own, and no
man is going to rule her life. But Kim and Mari will need
to come to some kind of a mutual agreement to be able to
save both of their tribes.
This continuation of Ms. Abé's drákon series, started with
THE SMOKE THIEF and followed up by THE DREAM THIEF, is
another superb paranormal romance with exciting characters
and a suspenseful plotline. The ending of QUEEN OF DRAGONS
promises at least another book to come, as there are
several loose ends to be resolved. I can't wait to read
more about these splendidly sensual creatures and the world
they inhabit.
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?
