For two thousand years Carpathian twins Gabriel and Lucian were vampire hunters. But then, Lucian turned vampire, forcing Gabriel to hunt him. Lucian and Gabriel battled each other for centuries until two hundred years ago, when Gabriel sacrificed his freedom, trapping Lucian and himself in the earth of a Parisian cemetery. Now, modern construction work within the cemetery has disturbed their resting place and Gabriel and his dark brother Lucian are raised from the rubble. Weakened and in desperate need of blood, Gabriel fears he will lose his own soul before he can restore his strength. Fate is on his side when Francesca, a uniquely gifted healer, comes to his aid. Gabriel instantly recognises that she is his lifemate, and must convince Francesca before it is too late: Lucian is on their trail, and will let nothing stand in the way of his eternal conflict with his brother.

Dark Legend draws you in from page one and leaves you desperate for the next episode.It's a true love story with a hint of sadness.We have heard a lot about Gabriel and Lucien in previous books and i feel this story is worthy of the ledendary twins.I greatly enjoyed the previous six books in the Dark series but i found them becoming predictable and repetitious but with Dark Legend this is no longer the case she has pulled me back in as she originally drew my attention with Dark Prince.A great book, Well done Miss Feehan.

Dark Legend's love story about the legendary twin Vampire Hunter Gabriel & his lifemate Francesca will move you so emotionally, it will rock your world. The author will have you feeling the timeless & unselfish love these two has for each other. As Gabriel goes off to War with the vampires, he knows he may not come back. Although he makes Francesca promise to live on and raise their children in love so that they may remember him thru her, she does not know whether she can go thru the centuries alone again with her heart & soul ripped out without her love, Garbriel.
You will also experience Gabriel's pain & the unconditional love that he has for his twin, Lucian who has lost his battle with the beast within & turned vampire. In order to honor their mutual vow, Gabriel is faced with the heart breaking task of destroying his beloved twin. Although Lucian is now a vampire, it does not lessen their twin connection & their unequivocal love & respect for each other. For centuries Lucian fought beside Gabrielle, taught him everything, sacrificed his own life many times. Killing Lucian would be killing his other half.... Want more? Buy the book & enjoy!

Christine's Dark works are unique because every book is a stand alone and yet a sequel in an unending yet fascinating Carpathian society. When you read a sequal, you have a special feeling toward the book like being part of something or putting a puzzle together. She works hard to keep her work alive and buzzing by interacting with every fan as well as participating in
numerous chat groups. Although she still rewards her adoring fans with other great stories when certain sequels cannot be published, she reassures us and at times tease us so that we still feel connected to the Carpathian world.

With Gabriel's dark and mysterious looks, and Francesca the independent Carpathian female - you could not ask for more! Lucian and Gabriel are twin brothers and are centuries old - masters of war, and fighters against the undead threat to humanity and Carpathian's alike, but they seemed lost to the world. Presumed dead, Carpathian families told their children stories about them. "Legends". Both of them.
Lucian's dark secrets and Gabriel's burning desire to help his brother and protect his lifemate, throw a twist in the tale and you have a wonderfully steamy, sexy, heart throbbing story that you can cuddle up with on your sofa with a hot cup of choc!
Loved every page - I want more!

My friend bought this book and could not get into it so i tried it and i am now hooked!!! have read a few more, starting at number one, wonderful books, such passion!!!!
but please people when reviewing surely youre not supposed to tell the complete story beginning to end, why buy a book when a reviewer tells you how it ends!!! a 'wonderful twist' is not a twist when you know it before buying. lets not spoil it for others eh.

I've so far read up to this book in the carpathian series- although the plot lines are sometimes fairly predictable and the stories aren't that far apart, I love them anyway and can't put them down! I love the writing style and all of the books seem to flow together smoothly. I initially had some confusion finding the right order, but later discovered it really wouldn't have mattered if I had got it wrong! Fantastic books and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone. Great read.

I am a real fan of Christine Feehan. As soon as I started this book, I didn't want to put it down. There is a real substance to the characters, and the storyline is really gripping. My only gripe is that Feehan spends far too much time putting the phrase 'I CAN DO NO OTHER' in her books - so many times I lost count! You will see what I mean when you read it!!! Apart from this, another Feehan winner from beginning to end.
