About this book

Gabrielle is exhausted by the endless bloodshed inherent in the Carpathian world. Engaged to Gary, a man transformed from a gentle researcher into a lethal, ancient warrior, she craves a quiet life far from the shadows of the mountains. But destiny is a cruel master, and the promises made in the dark are not easily broken. As she fights to protect her future, she discovers that escaping her fate is impossible when her heart is bound to a predator.

The narrative shifts as Trixie Joanes arrives in the rugged mountains searching for her missing granddaughter. Instead of finding her kin, she stumbles into a treacherous conspiracy involving a vengeful ancient with the power to manifest nightmares. What begins as a desperate rescue mission quickly spirals into an emotional rollercoaster where lives are staked and secrets are unearthed.

Blending urban fantasy with historical depth, this installment is a masterclass in paranormal romance. Christine Feehan expertly weaves together the lives of two women fighting for survival against an immortal evil. If you are looking for a high-stakes shifter saga filled with intense longing and deadly supernatural threats, this gripping tale promises to keep you tethered to the page until the very end.

Dark Promises, I have read this story numerous times and it gets better each time. This is Gabby and Trixie's story all rolled in to one emotional rollercoaster. Both women will find their lifemates in the monastery in the mist. This was a very emotional read for me, I cried, laughed, ahhh, yelled and celebrated though out this story. My heart broke at the beginning and a again at the end. I loved all characters and we get a glimpse of the seven ancients. It is a must read in my opinion. Happy...

So Close to Original Carpathian Books

Dark Promises was a book I was very interested in from the beginning. I have to say I was more interested in reading Gary's story than reading Gabbys story. Gabby was a character that I didn't like nor did I dislike her. I just felt from previous books we didn't know her well enough to give her a proper description.

Dark Promises is a great novel that incorporates previous romantic themes of the earlier books of the series and also introduces a more complex contemporary view of romance, which is not always PC. I sincerely urge...

Trixie Jones came to the Carpathian mountains to find her granddaughter, Teagan Jones, and without realizing it she has fallen into trouble as she is bringing bad people with her that kill whoever they want and...
