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.
They are the stuff of glittering legend, supersensual
creatures able to shape-shift from human to smoke to dragon.
Now they face an enemy determined to destroy their dazzling
world of magic and passion.
Queen of Dragons
It’s a stunning claim: the existence of a lost drákon
tribe. And it comes from an intriguing source: a woman
calling herself Princess Maricara of Transylvania.
Alpha lord Kimber Langford, Earl of Chasen, can’t ignore the
possibility. For whoever this unknown princess may be, she’s
dangerous enough to know about his existence—and
where to find him. And indeed, it isn’t long before Maricara
breaches the defenses of Darkfrith and the walls around
Kimber’s heart. Yet the princess arrives with urgent news: a
mysterious serial killer is targeting the entire
drákon race. To save their kind, Kimber and Mari must
ally themselves body and soul in a battle that can spell
their salvation, their extinction…or both.
