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.
中文简介：
《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。这本书以喀尔巴阡人、他们的生活伴侣和人类朋友为主角。他们聚居在罗马尼亚喀尔巴阡山脉，通过举办孩子们的游行、盛大的宴会以及欢迎最彪悍的猎人——圣诞老人的来访庆祝圣诞。米克海尔·杜波林斯基是喀尔巴阡人的王子，他担心自己的人民正在因为低生育率和不正常的婴儿高夭折率而逐渐灭绝。斐汗的角色列表阵容强大，虽然有些混乱。系列丛书的书迷们会很高兴再次看到老朋友和两对新的夫妇，而他们毫无疑问将出现在今后的小说中。在准备假日欢庆的过程中，有吸血鬼进行袭击，有带着死亡威胁的魔术师出现，还有心灵相通、能自由变换形态的喀尔巴阡人之间火热的激情。喀尔巴阡人会吸血，但他们是邪恶的吸血鬼的死敌。斐汗在书中甚至还提供了书迷寄来的假日食谱。
