About This Book
In the mist-shrouded Carpathian Mountains, two lonely souls reach across the darkness toward each other — one a psychic woman fleeing the exhausting weight of her own gift, the other an immortal prince on the edge of despair after centuries of solitude. Christine Feehan's Dark Prince builds its emotional stakes around a deceptively simple question: what does it cost to be the light that saves someone, and what do you risk losing in return? Raven and Mikhail's connection feels both inevitable and dangerous, and the threat surrounding them is as much about survival as it is about trust.
What distinguishes Dark Prince as a reading experience is Feehan's willingness to slow down and live inside the psychological tension between her leads. The prose leans into atmosphere — fog, shadow, the ancient weight of old-world forests — and the internal monologues give the romance genuine depth rather than just heat. The Carpathian world feels fully realized from the first pages, with its own mythology, rules, and moral complexity, which makes the story feel grounded even as it reaches into the supernatural.
