  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;Christine Feehan has worked magic on a legion of fans with her darkly thrilling Carpathian tales.  Now she delivers the provocative story of a female vampire slayer who proves as seductive--and mysterious--as the night dwellers she stalks...&lt;/i&gt;

For as long as she can remember, Natalya has been fighting demons:  first in the form of childhood nightmares, then later, immortal creatures that kill and prey on the innocent--including her own twin brother. Whether Carpathian or vampire, she slays those who murder by night, and as no equal--until she is seduced by the very thing she considers her enemy...

A Carpathian who has seen nearly everything in his endless existence, Vikirnoff doesn't think he can be surprised anymore--until he faces a woman who rivals him as a vampire hunter. A formidable and gifted warrior in her own right, Natalya has a nature that is strangely familiar--yet alien--to his own. Who is this mysterious female who fears no one--not even him? Natalya could be the key to the survival of the Carpathians, but all Vikirnoff is certain of is that she is the key to his heart and soul...</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Holy smokes! A lot happened in this book. It was jam packed with action and plot and intrigue. This was Vikirnoff's story.

She is one of the few warrior woman heroines who do not annoy the heck out of me with thei...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65099570">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is an interesting book. I thought that the story was slow in the begining. It is interesting how the 2 have very opposite personality types and end up being a perfect match for eachother. The story ends up having a good twist, with a brother who Natalia thinks is dead who ends up being alive an...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53993229">more...</a>]]></body>

It reveals more about the global plot to the stories and allows you to become better acquainted with characters that were previously introduced as well as letting you meet new characters.
