Publisher Description

New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan’s Carpathian novels satisfy her fans’ deepest yearnings with an irresistible concoction of suspense, sensuality, and the supernatural.

Byron Justicano is a Carpathian—a powerful immortal who must constantly resist the temptation to indulge his dark urges and become a vampire. Since only the love of a psychic mortal woman can save him from the endless night, Byron has traveled the globe for centuries, desperately seeking a lifemate. And then, in an Italian villa, he hears the threads of enchanting music wafting through the air. Antonietta Scarletti, an astonishingly talented and passionate concert pianist, has been blind since childhood. One touch from Byron’s supernatural fingers, however, could be enough to grant her rapturous ecstasy. At long last, he has found a light to his darkness.

"Holy Cow! About 12 pages in I was ready to give up because I didn't know what a Carpathian was and wasn't so sure about the shape-shifting and blood-sucking (and no, they aren't vampires.) But wow, I'm glad I stuck with it. I don't know if I've read anything more romantic--the descriptions are incredible. There is something about the idea of being completely one with a person and in their mind that is terribly wonderful. I've read all the Drake Sisters novels to date, which is why I tried this one, but this book is written in such a different style, it would seem to be by another author. I can't wait to read the other 19 in the Dark series!"

    " I really enjoy the dark series. Christine Feehan in this book really starts getting into the meat of the human (or are they human) life-mates of the Carpathian's. It is very interesting and can't wait to see where her vision takes that particular storyline. "

    " This is the first book I read of the Dark/Carpathian series and it was so good I was hooked from the start. I immediately had to go out and get the others, starting from the beginning. The characters were interesting (Feehan did a great job creating the world of a blind woman) and the plot was a huge page turner. "

    " First of Feehan's books I've listened to on audio book. I think I like reading her books better but I liked the story. It was great to see the heroine a strong woman with powers of her own though different than Byron's. I liked that Byron was more willing to accept Toni's family and way of life over taking her away as so often happens in Feehan's books. Wish I would have liked it more but it just wasn't one of my favorite of her books. "

    " Pretty good, but smutty at times. The whole scarred face, her life mate being drawn by her music which flowed from her fingers with amazing emotion, simply did not parallel with Phantom of the Opera. When you read the synopsis on the back cover, it's quite misleading. "

    " Definitely broke the mold as compared to the previous Carpathian stories. The hero was not nearly as aggressive and hunter-like and the heroine was not nearly as rebellious, though still strong-willed. It was a nice change of pace for them to be fighting something other than vampires! Good read. "
