highly recommended

In the remote hills of northern England lives a powerful clan with a centuries-old secret. They are the drákon, shape-shifters who possess the ability to Turn?changing from human to smoke to dragon. And from the very stones of the earth, they hear hypnotic songs of beauty and wonder. But there is one stone they fear....

Buried deep within the bowels of the Carpathian Mountains lies the legendary dreaming diamond known as Draumr, the only gem with the power to enslave the drákon. Since childhood, Lady Amalia Langford, daughter of the clan?s Alpha, has heard its haunting ballad but kept it secret, along with another rare Gift....

Lia can hear the future, much in the way she hears the call of Draumr. And in that future, she realizes that the diamond?along with the fate of the drákon?rests in the hands of a human man, one who straddles two worlds.

Ruthlessly clever, Zane has risen through London?s criminal underworld to become its ruler. Once a street urchin saved by Lia?s mother, Zane is also privy to the secrets of the clan?and is the only human they trust to bring them Draumr. But he does nothing selflessly.

Zane?s hunt for the gem takes him to Hungary, where he is shocked to encounter a bold, beautiful young noblewoman: Lia. She has broken every rule of the drákon to join him, driven by the urgent song of Draumr?and her visions of Zane. In one future, he is her ally. In another, her overlord. In both, he is her lover. Now, to protect her tribe, Lia must tie her fate to Zane?s, to the one man capable of stealing her future?and destroying her heart....

Great

I bought it today and finished it today. Great book, couldn't put it down. I think the character development was better than the first book. Can't wait to go buy the third one tomorrow!

the dream thief

This is an very good book. I liked the 1st book The smoke thief and I look forward to the next book. If you like dragons and historical romance you will like these books.

the dream thief

fantastic book did not put it down until it was finished keep up the good work

Very intense love story

This love story is a real page turner. The dream premonitions and Lia's sudden maturity into a full Turning dragon all wrapped up with Zane's reluctance to get even one hair's breadth closer to one of the Alpha family make this story a mesmerizing experience. And on top of it all the stone they are searching for can wreak havoc on the entire species. And to top even that, the reader (as well as Lia) believes Zane would like nothing more than to do just that.

Some amazing, exotic locations and side characters round out the story. I have one problem with the believability of something that happens in the climax (regarding the stone itself and it's sturdiness) but other than that (and that's probably just my own little bugaboo), I can give this book a high recommendation.

Start with The Smoke Thief, the first book in the series.

trilogy

I read the whole trilogy (The Smoke Thief, The Dream Thief and Queen of Dragons). I thoroughly enjoyed them all. They left me wanting more. I loved the story line. I did, however, feel they were incomplete. I recommend the entire trilogy.
