Something Dark is
coiled around your heart.
Something scaled and
glistening, and ferociously beautiful. It has been with
you all your days and nights, all your years, in all
your thoughts, shaping every single movement: your hands,
your lips, your respiration.
It lives because you
live. It lives because magic is real.
You are a dragon.
Drákon.
The lush green shire of Darkfrith,
England hides a sparkling secret: a tribe of shapeshifting
creatures who have the ability to Turn from human to
smoke to dragon. Fierce, lovely, and dangerous, they've
lived for centuries disguised as people, undetected
by the human beings surrounding them. Until now.
The sanf inimicus, human dragon
hunters, have found the shire. And now members of the
tribe are going missing, one by one: a little girl.
A devoted fiancé. And the reckless, handsome youngest
son of the Alpha of the drákon: Lord Rhys Langford.
Zoe Lane is only the village seamstress.
Her intellect and ice-cold beauty has left her isolated
even amid her own kind. Her final chance to fit in among
the tribe was the promise of marriage to Hayden James,
a loyal drákon scout sent out into the world
to help battle the sanf.
When Hayden vanishes without word,
Zoe at last lets loose the Gifts she's kept hidden from
her clan: the power to Turn invisible. The ability to
see ghosts in glass, to hear the voices of the dead.
To read thoughts.
She's determined to find her fiancé
and bring him home again if she can. But when she reaches
glittering, simmering eighteenth century Paris, she
discovers the ghost who haunts her every move isn't
Hayden, but Rhys.
Her childhood love.
Rhys's world has gone gray and thin;
he isn't even certain if he's alive or dead. His existence
is focused solely around Zoe, the only spark of color
and true life left to him. Protecting her is going require
all of his drákon skill—even as a ghost—because
she's determined to strike a blow against the sanf
they won't soon forget.
She's his last lifeline to the living
world. And he's the one drákon who ever touched
her heart.
Only together can they discover the
true fate of their kind, and save them all from the
traitor in their midst who would destroy them in a heartbeat....
