Dark Curse — Christine Feehan

#1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan freezes the blood in her most fiercely sensual Carpathian novel yet...

Born into a world of evil and ice, Lara Calladine knew paralyzing fear as a child. Aided by her aunts, she survived to claim her Carpathian heritage as a Dragonseeker. She was a child of three species yet belonged to none, and so she walked her chosen path alone, trusting no one. For beyond the frozen hell of her youth were even greater dangers.

Today, as an expert in the study of ice caves, Lara searches for the source of her nightmares. Nicolas De La Cruz can help her. Though centuries of hunting and killing have taken their toll, he longs to feel sensual love without the hunger for blood. As a tenuous trust emerges between them, so too does a passion neither has ever known. And while Lara and Nicolas search the treacherous Carpathian landscape for the truth about their past, they harbor a secret that could save or destroy them. Because as much as they long for a future as lifemates, they are also haunted by the unknown dangers of a dark curse.
