    <![CDATA[Long ago, shape-shifters were plentiful, soaring through the sky as crows, racing across African veldts as cheetahs, raging furious as dragons atop the Himalayas. Like gods, they reigned supreme. But even gods have laws, and those laws, when broken, destroy.<br/><br/>ZoufalstvÃ­. EpÃ¤toivo. Asa. Three words in three very different languages, and yet Soria understands. Like all members of Dirk &amp; Steele, she has a gift, and hers is communication.  When she is chosen to learn the dead language of a shape-shifter resurrected after thousands of years of icy sleep, she discovers a warrior consumed with fury.<br/><br/>Strong as a lion, quick as a serpentâ€”Karr is his name, and in his day he was king. But he is a son of strife, a creature of tragedy.  As fire consumed all he loved, so death was to be his atonement. Now, against his will, he has awoken.  ZoufalstvÃ­. EpÃ¤toivo. Asa. In English, the word is despair. But Soria knows the words for love. ]]>

    <![CDATA[Long ago, shape-shifters were plentiful, soaring through the sky as crows, racing across African veldts as cheetahs, raging furious as dragons atop the Himalayas. Like gods, they reigned supreme. But even gods have laws, and those laws, when broken, destroy.<br/><br/>ZoufalstvÃ­. EpÃ¤toivo. Asa. Three words in three very different languages, and yet Soria understands. Like all members of Dirk &amp; Steele, she has a gift, and hers is communication.  When she is chosen to learn the dead language of a shape-shifter resurrected after thousands of years of icy sleep, she discovers a warrior consumed with fury.<br/><br/>Strong as a lion, quick as a serpentâ€”Karr is his name, and in his day he was king. But he is a son of strife, a creature of tragedy.  As fire consumed all he loved, so death was to be his atonement. Now, against his will, he has awoken.  ZoufalstvÃ­. EpÃ¤toivo. Asa. In English, the word is despair. But Soria knows the words for love. ]]>

    <![CDATA[Long ago, shape-shifters were plentiful, soaring through the sky as crows, racing across African veldts as cheetahs, raging furious as dragons atop the Himalayas. Like gods, they reigned supreme. But even gods have laws, and those laws, when broken, destroy.<br/><br/>ZoufalstvÃ­. EpÃ¤toivo. Asa. Three words in three very different languages, and yet Soria understands. Like all members of Dirk &amp; Steele, she has a gift, and hers is communication.  When she is chosen to learn the dead language of a shape-shifter resurrected after thousands of years of icy sleep, she discovers a warrior consumed with fury.<br/><br/>Strong as a lion, quick as a serpentâ€”Karr is his name, and in his day he was king. But he is a son of strife, a creature of tragedy.  As fire consumed all he loved, so death was to be his atonement. Now, against his will, he has awoken.  ZoufalstvÃ­. EpÃ¤toivo. Asa. In English, the word is despair. But Soria knows the words for love. ]]>
