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. . . .\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 dra´kon,  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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Clarissa  Rue Hawthorne knew her dangerous exploits would attract the attention of the dra´kon.  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 dra´kon, 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?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 dra´kon, 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. . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this bewitching novel, Shana Abé transports us into a world of  exhilarating romance and magic.","brand":"Bantam Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42817877835856,"sku":"9780553588040B","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780553588040-l.jpg?v=1785866788","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/the-smoke-thief-drakon-bk-1-9780553588040b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
