Part of Dark, book 2
First published 2005
Shea O'Halloran works as a surgeon in America when she begins receiving silent messages from across the world. A stranger calls to her mind, speaking of endless hunger and eternal suffering. She feels his pain and isolation as if they were her own. The pull grows stronger until she travels to the remote Carpathian mountains to find him. In those ancient peaks, Shea discovers a man unlike any other. He rages with barely controlled power, his body broken and his spirit wounded. Yet she recognizes him immediately as the voice that has haunted her thoughts. This Carpathian male demands her presence at his side, but his intentions remain unclear. Shea must determine whether she came to heal this dangerous being or whether he summoned her for darker purposes. She could become his salvation or his victim. He might cure her own deep loneliness or drag her into his world of shadows. The choice will determine if his need for her destroys them both or creates something neither expected.
