Book Description
================
They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a 
mistress of the light. . . . 

Lead guitarist of the Dark Troubadours, Dayan was renowned for his mesmerizing 
performances. His melodies stilled crowds, beckoned, seduced, tempted. 
And always, he called to her. His lover. His lifemate. He called to 
her to complete him. To give him the emotions that had faded from his 
existence, leaving him an empty shell of growing darkness. Save me. 
Come to me. 

Corinne Wentworth stood at the vortex of a gathering storm. Pursued 
by the same fanatics who'd murdered her husband, she was risking her 
life by keeping more than one secret. Fragile, delicate, vulnerable, 
she had an indomitable faith that made her fiery surrender to Dayan 
all the more powerful. This was the one woman whose loss would destroy 
him, even as her love promised to heal his soul.

From Publishers Weekly
In the 12th installment in Feehan's paranormal Dark series (Dark Symphony, 
etc.), she again creates a richly evocative fantasy world in which immortal 
Carpathian males search for their "lifemates" and battle soulless vampires. 
When young telepathic widow Corinne Wentworth walks into the bar where 
Carpathian Dayan, of the legendary band the Dark Troubadours, is playing, 
he immediately recognizes her as his lifemate ("He heard the soft murmur 
of her voice, and at once his world changed"). Difficulties lie ahead 
for the couple, not the least of which is that the men who murdered 
her husband are hunting her and her sister-in-law, Lisa. Corinne's weak 
heart is also a major source of conflict. The question of whether it 
will be strong enough to withstand her transformation from human to 
Carpathian may leave readers with real doubts as to whether a happy 
ending is in store for this well-matched pair. Though Corinne's delicate 
condition forces Dayan to treat her with extreme care, their love scenes 
still sizzle. Feehan's prose is occasionally melodramatic and her descriptions 
cliched ("Dayan resembled a sculpture of a Greek god"), but this may 
be her most emotionally engaging installment to date.

From Booklist
The twelfth in the Dark series featuring Carpathians, a blood-sucking 
superior race that battles both vampires and a fanatical antivampire 
organization, will be welcomed by Feehan's fans, who have superior abilities 
to suspend disbelief. Dayan, guitar player and singer in the band Dark 
Troubadours, finds the life mate who will keep him from dying or turning 
into a vampire in Corinne Wentworth, a pregnant widow with telekinetic 
powers. She has a heart condition that could end her life at any time, 
and she is also a target of the people who killed her husband. Dayan 
cannot turn her into a Carpathian until her daughter is born, but it 
turns into an epic struggle to keep her alive, with several Carpathians 
converging to save her. Diana Tixier Herald
