Christine Feehan's “steamy and dreamy... combo platter of danger, fantasy and wild, uninhibited romance continues to sizzle” (Publishers Weekly) in her #1 New York Times bestselling series. Now, she freezes the blood in her most fiercely sensual Carpathian novel yet...
Born
into a world of ice, and slave to her evil father, Lara Calladine knew
only paralyzing fear as a child — and escaping with her mysterious gifts
unbroken would be the only way to survive her great Carpathian heritage
as a Dragonseeker. Human, yet mage, she was of the blood of three
species yet belonged to none. She walked her chosen path alone, guided
by the wisdom of her aunts — to blend in and let no one know of her
ancestry and powers. And never trust anyone. For beyond the frozen hell
of her youth was a world of even greater mysteries and dangers.
Today
Lara is the leading expert in the field of ice cave study around the
world and the healing microorganisms that thrive in them. She’s also in
search of something else: the source of her nightmares — the cold dark
corners of her childhood. Only one man has the will and the powers to
help her: Nicolas De La Cruz, for whom centuries of hunting and killing
have long since taken their toll. Dangerous and arrogant, he still
longs to feel sensual love without the hunger for blood. Now, between
Lara and Nicolas, a tenuous trust has emerged, and a passion neither
has ever known before as a melody of dark promise begins.
But
as each scales the treacherous land of the Carpathian in search of
their past, they also harbor a secret that could save or destroy them.
And as each may be desirous of a new beginning as lifemates, they are
also haunted by the unknown dangers of a dark curse.
