A DARK STORM IS ON THE HORIZON…Return to Christine Feehan's “steamy and
dreamy” (“Publishers Weekly”) world of her "New York Times "bestselling
Carpathian novels as roiling passions collide in a perfect storm of dangerous
desire that only a precious few can hope to outrun…
Awakening after all this time in a world of absolute darkness and oppressive
heat, Dax wonders in how many ways the world above must have changed. But it is
how he has changed that fills him with dread and loathing. Buried alive for
hundreds of years in a volcano in the Carpathian Mountains, Dax fears that he
has become the full-fledged abomination that every Carpathian male fears, a
victim of the insidious evil that has crept relentlessly into his mind and body
over the centuries.
But there are some things that never change.
His name is Mitro, the vampire Dax had hunted all these long centuries. Second
in command to the prince of the Carpathian people he is the epitome of
everything malevolent, and perpetrator of one of the most shocking killing
sprees known to man–and beast. Even his friends and family weren't safe from
Mitro's bloodlust. Neither was Mitro's lifemate, Arabejila, an extraordinary
woman with extraordinary gifts.
But now that Dax has re-emerged, so too has Mitro. The ultimate battle between
good and evil has been re-engaged. Between Dax and Mitro, a violent game has
begun–one that has marked Riley Parker, the last descendent of Arabejila, as
the reward.
