"Wonderful addition to the fascinating Carpathian series!"

This is the story of how Byron Justiciano (you may remember him from Dark Desire) finds his lifemate, a blind pianist and composer named Antonietta Scarletti. Byron is courting Antonietta, giving her time to get used to him as a man before he reveals himself as a Carpathian and her destined mate. But when Antonietta's life - indeed, even the lives of the entire Scarletti family - is threatened, he has to step up his plan to make her his forever.

I'd love to tell you more, but there are so many great mysteries and plot twists to this book that I'm afraid of giving too much away!

Dark Symphony continues Ms. Feehan's Carpathian series, but also has ties to The Scarletti Curse and her novella, The Awakening, from the Fantasy anthology. With quirky, fascinating secondary characters, a rich, secret-filled plot, and Ms. Feehan's usual high standard of writing, this is a book that can't be beat. I've been curious since Dark Desire about what would happen to sexy Byron, and I wasn't disappointed. Another wonderful addition to this stellar series!
