Dark Curse (2008)



Español

Lara Calladine se ve atormentada por recuerdos de su infancia en los que está prisionera en una cueva de hielo y conserva la cordura gracias a las historias que le cuentan sus tías prisioneras. Ellas la instruyen como hechicera enseñándole magia carpatiana y la ayudan a escapar. Ha pasado años buscando la cueva, con la esperanza de hallar las respuestas para el enigma que supone su pasado así como para encontrar a sus tías, que podrían haber dado sus vidas por salvarla.
Nicolas de la Cruz ha regresado a los Cárpatos, su hogar, con órdenes de su hermano mayor, Zacarias, de llevar las noticias de una conspiración contra el príncipe de los carpatianos. Está cansado de su larga existencia y planea ponerle fin lejos de sus hermanos, donde sean incapaces de detenerle una vez que haya cumplido con su deber.
Los caminos de Lara y Nicolas se cruzan en una explosiva aventura que sacudirá los cimientos del mundo de los carpatianos

English

Born into a world of ice, and slave to her evil father, Lara Calladine knew only paralyzing fear as a child—and escaping with her mysterious gifts unbroken would be the only way to survive her great Carpathian heritage as a Dragonseeker. Human, yet mage, she was of the blood of three species yet belonged to none. She walked her chosen path alone, guided by the wisdom of her aunts—to blend in and let no one know of her ancestry and powers. And never trust anyone. For beyond the frozen hell of her youth was a world of even greater mysteries and dangers.
Today Lara is the leading expert in the field of ice cave study around the world and the healing microorganisms that thrive in them. She’s also in search of something else: the source of her nightmares—the cold dark corners of her childhood. Only one man has the will and the powers to help her: Nicolas De La Cruz, for whom centuries of hunting and killing have long since taken their toll. Dangerous and arrogant, he still longs to feel sensual love without the hunger for blood. Now, between Lara and Nicolas, a tenuous trust has emerged, and a passion neither has ever known before as a melody of dark promise begins.
But as each scales the treacherous land of the Carpathian in search of their past, they also harbor a secret that could save or destroy them. And as each may be desirous of a new beginning as lifemates, they are also haunted by the unknown dangers of a dark curse.
