About this eBook

Lovers challenge destiny and risk their lives in this Carpathian novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling “queen of paranormal romance.”*

Gabrielle has had enough of battles, of wars, of seeing the Carpathian warrior she loves nearly lose his life when it isn’t even his fight. All she wants is to be away from the Carpathian Mountains, far from vampires and the shadows cast by the crumbling monastery that hides so many terrible secrets. But she isn’t the only one in search of answers in the corners of the unknown...

Trixie Joanes has come to the Carpathian Mountains in search of her wayward granddaughter, fearing that she has been lured there by something unspeakable. Instead, Trixie has stumbled onto the path of a desperate man and woman on the run. And they’re all fated for the lair of a mysterious ancient with revenge in his soul and the undying power to make bad dreams come true.

*J.R. Ward, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Ratings and reviews

I absolutely loved it! I read the synopsis months ago, and it was quite misleading as this installment proved to contain more surprises and twists than I anticipated. I should have known better, having been a Dark Series fan for the past few years. I feel like Christine is building up to another big showdown, as was the case in Dark Wolf and Dark Blood. I love how this particular story wove in the fates of several Carpathians, and once again displayed the powerful bond of love, passion, loyalty and honor they share as a race of beings trying to survive the dire circumstances they continuously face. These are age- old, romanticized themes which Christine has skillfully woven into a well crafted and original work of literature; which honestly feels more like a memory of a home long forgotten. That is the mark of great writing, and she just gets better and better. Like the blood of a lifemate, the Dark Series is addicting!

I absolutely love the DARK series. I have read every one. All the novels go so deep into the story of the characters I find I love them all. This novel too has warmed it's way into my heart. Looking forward to the next story regarding Gary, as he has been a loved character that had been in almost all of the stories, and I can't wait to see what great things come to fruition in this next novel.

From the reviews I read about this book. I'm not even going to bother buying. Abuse is not my kind of thing. I think it's time to put the series to bed. The last book I read "spider web" was a disappointment. Not sure what's going on with Christine. I guess it's time to find other authors.
