About This Item
U.S.A.: Bantam, 2006. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. New. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. 175 x 104 mm. Language: English Brand New Book. For centuries they ve lived in secret among northern England s green and misted hills. Creatures of extraordinary beauty, power, and sensuality, they possess the ability to shape-shift from human to dragon and back again. Now their secret-and their survival-is threatened by a temptation that will break every boundary. Dubbed the Smoke Thief, a daring jewel thief is confounding the London police. His wealthy victims claim the master burglar can walk through walls and vanish into thin air. But Christoff, the charismatic Marquess of Langford, knows the truth: the thief is no ordinary human but a runner who s fled Darkfrith without permission. As Alpha leader of the drakon, it s Kit s duty to capture the fugitive before the secrets of the tribe are revealed to mortals. But not even Kit suspects that the Smoke Thief could be a woman. Clarissa Rue Hawthorne knew her dangerous exploits would attract the attention of the drakon. But she didn t expect Christoff himself to come to London, dangling the tribe s most valuable jewel-the Langford Diamond-as bait. For as long as she could remember, Rue had lived the life of a halfling-half drakon, half mortal-and an outcast in both worlds. She d always loved the handsome and willful Kit from the only place it was safe: from afar. But now she was no longer the shy, timid girl she d once been. She was the first woman capable of making the Turn in four generations. So why did she still feel the same dizzying sense of vulnerability whenever he was near? From the moment he saw her, Kit knew that the alluring and powerful beauty was every bit his Alpha equal and destined to be his bride. And by the harsh laws of the drakon, Rue knew that she was the property of the marquess. But they will risk banishment and worse for a chance at something greater. For now Rue is his prisoner, the diamond has disappeared, and she s made the kind of dangerous proposition a man like Kit cannot resist.In this bewitching novel, Shana Abe transports us into a world of exhilarating romance and magic
