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 owna 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 powersand 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. Theyve sworn to exterminate the shape-shifters whose presence they now can detect, and theyve already claimed a prize prisoner: Lord Rhys Langford.
Its 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 seamstresss daughter, Zoe isnt 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 outrageousor personally ruinousthan 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 shes 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 Rhyshis presence and touch as electric as if he were beside her in the fleshZoe uses both Gifts to infiltrate the sanf inimicus. And for Rhys, whose time is running out, Zoe is his last lifeline to a worldand a lovehe never thought hed regain. Only together again, hunter and huntress, can they save the drákon from the traitor in their midst who would destroy them all.

Synopsis
She is a young drákon of untried powers. He is the powerful second son of the Alpha male from their clan of shapeshifting, supersensual beings. And what she is about to attempt will violate every taboo and break every law that bind the drákon together—and just may save them from destruction.
A mere seamstress’s daughter, Zoe Cyprienne Lane isn’t even in the same league as Lord Rhys Langford. Nothing could be more shocking than the notion that she’d set out to find her childhood friend and first true love. But when news arrives in the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania that Rhys is being held captive, that’s just what she does. Guided by her own hidden Gifts and her psychic link to Rhys—his presence and touch as electric as if he were beside her in the flesh—Zoe is his last lifeline to a world and a passion he thought he’d never regain. Only reunited, hunter and huntress, can they save the drákon from those who would destroy them all.
