如果你喜歡《暮光之城》中，人類與吸血鬼感人的愛情故事，那麼你ㄧ定不能錯過《夢賊》！
ㄧ部人類與天龍的奇幻愛情故事

在英格蘭北部的一個偏遠的山區，住著一個強大的家族--天龍(drákon)，它們藏匿著歷經數百年歷史的秘密。
他們能任意變換形狀，且具有從人類變成一縷清煙、再變為龍的能力。他們可以從地球上的寶石中，聆聽到美麗與希望的催眠曲。但，卻有一塊寶石，是他們所懼怕的…
在喀爾巴阡山下，深埋著傳說中的夢幻寶石「Draumr」，那是唯一可以征服天龍力量的魔法寶石。部落首長的女兒—阿瑪麗亞蘭福特(Amalia Langford) 自童年起，就聽過關於描述它的可怕民謠，她將這與她另一個罕見的天份，視為一個共同守護的秘密…
麗亞(Lia)能聽見未來的聲音，特別是來自「Draumr」的召喚。漸漸地，她意識到，這塊與天龍命運緊緊相繫的寶石，未來將掌握在一個橫跨兩個世界的人類--贊恩(Zane)手中。
贊恩在倫敦黑社會長大，冷酷而又機智，即將成為黑社會的下一個統領者。在他還是一個街頭小混混的時候，曾被麗亞的母親搭救過，而他也是天龍部落所唯一一個信任的人類，同樣地對部落的秘密之情，他要幫助他們取得「Draumr」。
於是，贊恩追隨著寶石，來到了匈牙利，他遇見了一位優雅高貴的女子：麗亞，並被她的無畏和美麗深深震撼著。麗亞打破天龍的所有禁忌，和贊恩在一起。被「Draumr」r急促的呼喚以及她所預知的關於贊恩的未來引導著。
在未來，他也許會是她的夥伴，也許是她的統領者，也許會是她的愛人。如今，為了保護自己的部落，莉爾必須把自己的命運與這個竊取她未來的人緊緊連在一起……(ZH & SL)

"The Dream Thief reads like an evocative fairytale, filled with the sights, scents and tastes of life and love in the wonderful fashion and mores of the late [18th] century. Amelia and Zane’s courtship is perilous. She is a virgin who knows too much about physical love; Zane is the jaded thief who knows nothing of love. The prose flows like a lyrical dream and the story will steal your heart, earning The Dream Thief a Perfect 10."---Romance Reviews Today (《夢賊》是一本較十八世紀小說讀來更能能喚起共鳴的精靈故事，充滿栩栩如生的景象，生活的品味及愛情的美麗時尚。…這本小說，能把你的心給偷走…)

Return to a world of smoke and mist, where clouds enshroud bejeweled dragons, and a pair of illicit lovers will risk their lives to save a people who are not people at all. Return to the world of the drákon...(返回一個充滿煙霧的世界，在那裡，雲朵包覆著以寶石裝飾的龍；一對禁忌的情侶，冒著生命危險拯救一群非人類，重返天龍世界…)

Set in 18th-century England and the Carpathian Mountains, Abé’s lively sequel to The Smoke Thief continues the saga of the drákon (or "dragon-people"), "magnificent, terrifying creatures who have the ability to exist as humans but may transform into dragons at will, especially at night." Zane, a handsome thief, and the Lady Amalia "Lia" Langford, who can see the future, join forces to search for the lost Draumr, a dangerous jewel that can control the drákon. Zane, a delicious anti-hero, finds himself captivated by the delightful Lia, who has been dreaming precognitively about him for years, certain that Zane is her destiny, though he might cause future problems for the drákon. When Lia finally "Turns," first into smoke, then into full drákon power, their passion for each other is tested in an exciting, fire-breathing resolution. Paranormal romance fans will be well rewarded.---Publishers Weekly

"In the masterful realm is the exquisite The Dream Thief by Shana Abé, the second in a series of paranormal romance novels about the drákon, or dragon-people, who inhabit a secluded shire in 18th-century England. Lady Amalia Langford, daughter of the clan’s Alpha, is blessed—or cursed—to see the future, and her visions show her own path is fraught with passion, adventure and a terrible choice she will have to make between her beloved and her family. Attempting to thwart fate, she gallops directly toward it, and into the arms of the man who might very well destroy her. Abé is a multiple RITA finalist, and the reasons are clear—The Dream Thief is a heady, fast-paced, heartbreakingly romantic story rendered in hypnotically beautiful language."---Barbara Samuel, BookPage

"The Dream Thief is like an elaborate fairy tale. The fantasy is unsurpassed as the legend of the diamond unfolds through the story. Amalia’s gifts are the perfect counterpoint to Zane’s ruthless practicality. The visual imagery is stunning and the entire experience takes on a dream-like quality for the reader. The intertwining of the dream sequences, the fable, and the plot create an intriguing atmosphere that enchants. I can hardly wait to see what Ms. Abé’s fertile mind creates next."---A Romance Review
