The secluded village of Darkfrith, where the English Drákon
reside in isolation from the outside world, is in danger of
exposure and expulsion by a secret group. The tribe has
sent out two members to search for the evil culprits, but
they have not returned.
One of the missing is an alpha male of the ruling family of
Darkfrith -- Lord Rhys Langford. The other is a very dear
friend of Zoe Lane, a simple seamstress' daughter who's
recently discovered an unusual attribute about herself.
Using her new ability and a rare psychic link to Rhys, Zoe
flees the village in search of the two missing men. What
she encounters will test her resolve and all she holds most
dear.
Shana Abé is an extraordinary storyteller who weaves
a compelling tale of romantic fantasy unlike any other. THE
TREASURER KEEPER is probably the darkest and most intense
addition to this series with an intricate plot and complex
characters who stay with you long after finishing the book.
With such novels as Queen of Dragons and The
Dream Thief, Shana Abé has created a unique and
vividly imagined world that exists side by side with our
own—a realm populated by a race of supersensual men and
women whose power to change shape permits them unlimited
acts of pleasure…and ever-present danger. Now the survival
of the drákon rests in the hands of a young woman
with untried and unexpected powers—and the powerful Alpha
male she must break every drákon law to
save.
The drákon are at war,
surrounded by an enemy they have every reason to fear. The
sanf inimicus are no ordinary human beings but the
most dangerous of hunters. They’ve sworn to exterminate the
shape-shifters whose presence they now can detect, and
they’ve already claimed a prize prisoner: Lord Rhys
Langford.
It’s a blow the drákon clans feel
from Darkfrith, England, all the way to the Carpathian
Mountains of Transylvania. But it strikes no one harder
than Zoe Cyprienne Lane. A mere seamstress’s daughter, Zoe
isn’t even in the same league as Rhys. In fact, as an unwed
male in the Alpha line, according to drákon custom,
he owns her. So nothing could be more outrageous—or
personally ruinous—than the mere notion that she might set
out on her own to find her childhood friend...and first
true love.
But the unexpected is exactly what Zoe
intends to do. For years she’s been hiding two
extraordinary Gifts that have set her apart from other
drákon females: the power to become invisible and
the power to feel others’ emotions. Now, guided by a link
to Rhys—his presence and touch as electric as if he were
beside her in the flesh—Zoe uses both Gifts to infiltrate
the sanf inimicus. And for Rhys, whose time is
running out, Zoe is his last lifeline to a world—and a love—
he never thought he’d regain. Only together again, hunter
and huntress, can they save the drákon from the
traitor in their midst who would destroy them
all.
