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 on secret. Fragile, delicate, vulnerable, she had an indomitable faith that made her fiery surrender to Dayan all the more powerful. This was the e woman whose loss would destroy him, even as her love promised to heal his soul.

        "The queen of paranormal romance! The one who started it all! I love everything she does." — New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward

        "Feehan has a knack for bringing vampiric Carpathians to vivid, virile life in her Dark Carpathian novels." — Publishers Weekly

        "After Bram Stoker, Anne Rice, and Joss Whedon (who created the venerated Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Feehan is the person most credited with popularizing the neck gripper." — Time magazine

        "[A] compelling and spectacular series. The amazingly prolific author's ability to create captivating and adrenaline-raising worlds is unsurpassed." — Romantic Times

        "THE REIGNING QUEEN OF PARANORMAL ROMANCE." — Publishers Weekly

      • content:

        October 20, 2003
        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 clichéd ("Dayan resembled a sculpture of a Greek god"), but this may be her most emotionally engaging installment to date. (Nov.)

        Forecast:
        In addition to being a prolific writer, Feehan is also a skilled self-promoter. Not only has she cultivated a faithful community of readers through her website (where browsers can become "members" and receive access to screensavers and special interviews
        ), but she is also supporting
        Dark Melody with a full-blown book trailer, which browsers can preview and members can purchase on DVD. This book's sales will undoubtedly reflect Feehan's marketing efforts and rising popularity.
