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 pleasureand 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nIts 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.\n\nBut 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 othersemotions. 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.
