    "description": "Hidden among the remote hills of eighteenth-century England lives a powerful clan of shape-shifters who\u2019ve become the stuff of myths and legends. They are the dr\u00e1kon\u2014supersensual 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.\n\nFor 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\u00e1kon. It is a possibility that the Alpha lord, Kimber Langford, Earl of Chasen, cannot ignore. For whoever this unknown princess may be, she\u2019s dangerous enough to know about the dr\u00e1kon\u2019s existence\u2014and where to find them. That, as Kimber can\u2019t help but concede, gives her a decidedly deadly advantage. And, indeed, it wouldn\u2019t be long before Maricara breached the defenses of Darkfrith and the walls around Kimber\u2019s heart. But the mystery of the princess\u2019s real identity and the warning she has come to deliver, of a brutal serial killer targeting the dr\u00e1kon 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\u00e1kon have ever faced\u2014an 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\u00e1kon leaders, will an alliance of body and soul mean their salvation, their extinction\u2026or both?",
