false 2444135 15 Lara Calladine is haunted by childhood memories of being held prisoner in an ice cave and kept sane by the whispered stories told to her by her imprisoned aunts. They instilled mage and Carpathian magic deep within her and then helped her escape. She has spent years searching for the cave in hopes of finding the answers to the riddle of her past as well as finding her aunts who may have given their lives saving her. Nicolas De La Cruz has returned to the Carpathian Mountains--his homeland--on orders from his eldest brother, Zacarias, to bring news of a conspiracy to the prince of their people. He is weary of his long existence and plans to end it away from his brothers where they will be unable to stop him once he has fulfilled his duty. Lara and Nicolas paths collide in an explosive adventure that rocks the Carpathian world. 2903602 book 4 9 2008 Dark Curse (Carpathians, #19) total:814|5:372|4:261|3:137|2:32|1:12| 814 3391 1322 66 4 9 false false Fri Sep 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 17:23:10 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 14:51:16 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 5 false false Wed Sep 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 01 16:11:40 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 11 08:49:27 -0700 2008
