Book Description:
The seventeenth in Feehan's Dark series, and the first in hardcover, features the Carpathians, their lifemates, and human friends who have gathered in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania to celebrate Christmas with a children's pageant, a feast, and a visit by their fiercest hunter as Santa Claus. Mikhail Dubrinsky, the prince of the Carpathians, worries that his people are dying out because of very low fertility and an extraordinarily high infant mortality rate. It seems that some force may be trying to eradicate the Carpathians. Feehan assembles an enormous and somewhat confusing cast of characters. Fans of the series will be delighted to see old friends again and two new life-paired couples who will undoubtedly appear in future novels. Amidst preparations for the holiday festivities, there are vampire attacks, deadly danger from a mage, and steamy sex between the telepathic, shape-shifting Carpathians, who suck blood yet are deadly enemies of the evil vampires. Feehan even offers holiday recipes sent in by her fans.
中文簡介：
《斐汗(Feehan)黑暗故事系列》的第17集，也是第一本硬皮封面出版的作品。這本書以喀爾巴阡人、他們的生活伴侶和人類朋友為主角。他們聚居在羅馬尼亞喀爾巴阡山脈，通過舉辦孩子們的游行、盛大的宴會以及歡迎最彪悍的獵人——圣誕老人的來訪慶祝圣誕。米克海爾·杜波林斯基是喀爾巴阡人的王子，他擔心自己的人民正在因為低生育率和不正常的嬰兒高夭折率而逐漸滅絕。斐汗的角色列表陣容強大，雖然有些混亂。系列叢書的書迷們會很高興再次看到老朋友和兩對新的夫婦，而他們毫無疑問將出現在今后的小說中。在準備假日歡慶的過程中，有吸血鬼進行襲擊，有帶著死亡威脅的魔術師出現，還有心靈相通、能自由變換形態(tài)的喀爾巴阡人之間火熱的激情。喀爾巴阡人會吸血，但他們是邪惡的吸血鬼的死敵。斐汗在書中甚至還提供了書迷寄來的假日食譜。
