In all the centuries of his existence, no one has ever affected him like Vasilisa. But nothing seems real until the night she meets him in the flesh.Īfanasiv Belan is a Carpathian, an ancient one. She knows nothing about him except that he is hers. The prophecy that says a man will come to claim her as his mate, and that she will guard his soul. Every day she feels the weight of the legacy passed down through generations. A restlessness coupled with a sense of growing dread. There is a fire inside her that is building. She knows what is expected of her, but all she wants is to be out from under her family’s watchful eyes. Vasilisa Sidkorolyavolkva is a Lycan of royal blood. Due to word count I could not do justice to the stories and include the reunion so I decided on a continuation of three books.Embrace the seductive call of the latest novel in Christine Feehan’s #1 New York Times bestselling Carpathian series. Dark Challenge starts the trilogy, it is continued with Dark Fire and ends with Dark Melody, which contains the reunion of all band members and their families. I wanted to include stories for each of the band members. This is the first of the trilogy I wrote within the Dark Series. Desari and her unique gifts are a true challenge for a powerful Carpathian male. Two strong very territorial males find themselves in close quarters protecting the woman they love. He is the first Carpathian male who lays claim to a woman of equal power. Desari is an ancient, with the full powers of an ancient female. Much to his shock, Julian discovers a group of missing Carpathians. She travels with a band, the Dark Troubadours, consisting of three men and another woman and a couple of not very tame leopards.

She has a beautiful, haunting voice and her eccentric ways have attracted the wrong kind of attention. Julian has been asked to warn a young singer that she has been put on the hit list of a group of vampire hunters.

Was Desari more than his perfect mate? Julian had met his match in this woman, but would she drive him to madness.or save his soul? And even as Desari enflamed him, she dared to defy him-with mysterious, unparalleled feminine powers. And a dark hunger to possess her flooded his loins, blinding him to the danger stalking him. When Julian heard Desari sing, rainbows swamped his starving senses. Until he met the woman he was sworn to protect. Always alone, far from his Carpathian kind, alien to even his twin. It tells the story of how Julian Savage and Desari Daratrazanoff came together.
