They are the dr kon supersensual creatures with the ability to Turn from human to smoke to dragon. Now a treacherous new enemy threatens to destroy their world of magic and glittering power.

For centuries, they thought themselves alone at Darkfrith, but the arrival of a stunning letter from the Princess Maricara sent from the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania suggests the existence of a lost tribe of dr kon. It is a possibility that the Alpha lord, Kimber Langford, Earl of Chasen, cannot ignore. For whoever this unknown princess may be, she’s dangerous enough to know about the dr kon s existence and where to find them. That, as Kimber can t help but concede, gives her a decidedly deadly advantage. And, indeed, it wouldn t be long before Maricara breached the defenses of Darkfrith and the walls around Kimber s heart. But the mystery of the princess s real identity and the warning she has come to deliver, of a brutal serial killer targeting the dr kon themselves, seem all but impossible to believe. Until the shadowed threat that stalks her arrives at Darkfrith, and Kimber and Maricara must stand together against the greatest enemy the dr kon have ever faced an enemy who may or may not be one of their own. They have no choice but to yield to their passionate attraction for each other. But for two such very different dr kon leaders, will an alliance of body and soul mean their salvation, their extinction or both?

and first true love.

For years she s been hiding two extraordinary Gifts that have set her apart from other dr kon 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.
