Dark Celebration
A Carpathian Reunion - 17th in the "Dark" series

by Christine Feehan



      ’Tis the season for joy and holly, a time when friends, family, and loved ones gather together to celebrate the Christmas holiday. Although Christmas is not usually observed by the Carpathians, Prince Mikhail Dubrinsky agrees to his wife Raven’s request to have a festive occasion that will bring all the Carpathians to the mountains of Romania. The event is assured to be one that will go down in history, for it will be a day where all can gather and share with one another.

Raven is overjoyed that all the people she invited are in attendance. The house overflows with faces she hasn’t seen in years. Each one brings their own special magical blend that helps brighten the joyous day. Her kitchen is filled with tantalizing scents as each of the women prepares a feast fit for a King.

Evil arrives with an unexpected guest, vowing to rid the world of the Carpathian race. He sees this as the perfect opportunity to bring together all his prey under one roof. He is intent on eliminating the race by targeting their weakest known link, the women they love. He takes his time, waiting to be granted the perfect situation that will allow him to fulfill his innermost prophesy.

Christine Feehan has truly outdone herself in what is to be her seventeenth Carpathian novel. This book provides devoted fans the opportunity to revisit all her memorable characters through the pages of one unforgettable book. Each scene has her proven Carpathian trademark that has made her one of the greats in the paranormal world. As a treat for all who read this book she generously has included special sections that include mouth watering dark desserts, Carpathian healing charts, and a guide on the Carpathian language. These added bonuses make it the perfect holiday gift. Very highly recommended.

For an extra special portion of Dark Celebration, read the deleted scenes available on the author's site: Scene 1 and Scene 2.
