Book ID/图书代码： 06830012B57483
English Summary/英文概要： They are the stuff of glittering legend, supersensual creatures able to shape-shift from human to smoke to dragon. Now they face an enemy determined to destroy their dazzling world of magic and passion. Queen of Dragons It’s a stunning claim: the existence of a lost drákon tribe. And it comes from an intriguing source: a woman calling herself Princess Maricara of Transylvania. Alpha lord Kimber Langford, Earl of Chasen, can’t ignore the possibility. For whoever this unknown princess may be, she’s dangerous enough to know about his existence—and where to find him. And indeed, it isn’t long before Maricara breaches the defenses of Darkfrith and the walls around Kimber’s heart. Yet the princess arrives with urgent news: a mysterious serial killer is targeting the entire drákon race. To save their kind, Kimber and Mari must ally themselves body and soul in a battle that can spell their salvation, their extinction…or both.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 他們是傳說的閃閃發光，超級感性的生物，能從人類變化轉型為煙龍。現在他們要面對著一個決意要摧毀他們那個充滿魔幻和激情的璀璨世界的敵人。《女王的龍》是一部令人稱奇的作品：這一集中，有著一個遺失的德庫拉部落。而在這個故事中有著來一個有趣的起源：一個女人自稱自己是的特蘭西瓦尼亞的Maricara公主。Alpha 的主人Kimber Langford，伯爵Chasen，無法忽視這一可能性。這個未知的公主可能是誰，她的突然出現足以可以驗證這個宿敵的存在 — —並可以找到他。而事實上，Maricara很久以前就違反了Darkfrith的防禦和Kimber的中心圍牆。然而公主懷揣著緊急的消息：一個神秘的連環殺手的目標，是整個德庫拉族群。為了要保護他們的群類，Kimber和Mari必須身形和靈魂合一，才可能免於被一同滅絕。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：From Publishers Weekly
At the start of Abé’s inventive third novel (after 2006’s The Dream Thief) to feature the drákon (creatures who appear to be extraordinarily beautiful humans but can turn into smoke or dragons at will), the English drákon, who believe they are the last of their kind, are delighted to learn of another drákon tribe in the Carpathian mountains, ruled by alpha princess Maricara of the Zaharen through her nonalpha brother. The English drákon, led by their alpha lord, Kimber Langford, earl of Chasen, send emissaries from their stronghold of Darkfrith in York to Transylvania, but the emissaries are murdered en route by a secret organization dedicated to the annihilation of the drákon. Maricara journeys alone to England to warn the English drákon of the danger. Romantic fantasy fans are sure to look forward to further installments in this winning series set in the late 18th century.
About the Author/作者介绍： 莎納•亞伯生於德克薩斯州。在科羅拉多州渡過了自己的童年時光，曾作為一個外國交換生，在墨西哥有過短暫的逗留，十七歲時，在日本從事模特生涯。幼年時期，亞伯就開始著手寫作，在當拍攝模的空閒時間裏，完成了被她稱之為“有史以來最愚蠢的浪漫小說”的創作。她的寫作風格主要側重於浪漫題材，而這些也是她最為喜歡閱讀的小說。她隨後在洛杉磯上了大學，拿到了戲劇學位。
她的第二部小說，同樣也是當代浪漫類型，並在一個寫作比賽中位列第三名。於是她把自己的作品寄給了幾家可能具有市場前瞻性的代理社，這些代理商多數回覆她的問題大多為“看上去不錯 — 不過你的作品的主線是什麼呢？”在這些建議下，亞伯不得對原先的寫作套路進行修改，她最終覺得集中精力於歷史浪漫愛情題材。為了嘗試此類題材，新婚不久的亞伯選擇把自己醞釀的浪漫中世紀愛情故事告訴丈夫。這份名為《 A Rose in Winter》手稿被Bantam出版社購買出版。
亞伯的許多小說背景都設置於中世紀時期。她之所以選擇這一時期是因為那是一段“光明與黑暗的分水嶺時期…中世紀時期的皇家的宏偉，威嚴和騎士精神都給她的創作帶來了無窮的創作靈感 — 但也不得不承認，那也是人類歷史上最為黑暗的一段時期。”
亞伯獲得了《浪漫時代雜誌》的職業成就獎，她還六次被提名為《浪漫時代雜誌》評審獎，兩次獲勝。
