Dark Legend

by Christine Feehan

About this book

Awakening from a long, subterranean slumber, Gabriel finds himself consumed by an insatiable, primal hunger. As a Carpathian, he is a creature of the night, caught in a treacherous struggle to retain his humanity while his twin brother, Lucian, has already succumbed to the darkness. Stalking the rain-slicked streets of Paris, Gabriel is prepared to lose himself to his bloodlust until an ethereal voice pierces the shadows, offering a serenity he thought forever lost.

Francesca Del Ponce is a gifted healer whose very presence radiates a warmth that acts as a beacon to Gabriel’s tortured soul. She is the light to his dark, a woman whose purity threatens to consume him even as she saves him. As their fates intertwine, Gabriel must navigate a dangerous path; if he cannot master his inner beast, he risks dragging Francesca into his nightmare, potentially creating another monster to terrorize the world.

This installment in the legendary Carpathian series perfectly blends high-stakes paranormal romance with intense, brooding chemistry. Fans of fated mates and tortured heroes will be swept away by this dark, atmospheric tale. Whether you are a long-time devotee of the series or a newcomer seeking a spicy, supernatural escape, this story of redemption and all-consuming love is an absolute must-read.

Gabriel and Francesa

Absolutely love Dark Legend, I have read this story numerous times. This is the start of the Dark Twins story, the legends Gabriel and Lucian. Feehan weaves a beautiful story about love , family and sometimes family doesn't mean blood. This is a must read in Feehan's Dark Series. Happy Reading 📚 )

Good book - Spicy

The print quality is fantastic. Exactly how I remember it as a kid. Mass-produced books have actually always been a favorite of mine. The way the pages smell, the soft fluttering of the pages as you fan through them, or just turning each page, really makes you feel that cozying up with a book vibe that we readers crave. Definitely a good quality to add to the shelves. Especially for those of us with a TBR taller than we are. Beautifully priced and excellently crafted. )

Great Series

Yes, this is a series. No cliffhangers, can be read as a standalone, but reading in order makes the stories so much better! Love Francesca and Gabriel. Skylar is a wonderful character and you will read more of her in upcoming books. This has mystery, adventure and romance. Loved reading it and re-reading it. )

Excellent.

I love the early ' Dark' stories but....

The difference is so noticeable that I refer to the books as \" The Early\" and \" The Rest\". There are twenty in the older and almost twenty ( so far) in the rest of the series. I...
