Part of Dark, book 6.5
First published 2006
Sara Marten has carried the same face in her dreams since age fifteen. Every night brings visions of a dark-eyed man who embodies both salvation and danger. Tonight marks the end of her long wait. She will finally encounter Falcon, the exiled Carpathian who has haunted her sleep. This meeting will seal their fated bond as mates, though Falcon represents both angelic protection and demonic temptation. Meanwhile, Charlie exists in captivity, watching terrible acts unfold around him. He refuses to participate in evil or remain a passive observer. His only escape lies in self-destruction or in Aggie Durand, an agent working for the mysterious organization Dirk & Steele. Charlie sees Aggie as pure goodness, comparing her sweetness to a kiss or a rescued child. Yet he fears to hope for her love, knowing she might become his redemption. As his carefully contained dreams begin to manifest in reality, Charlie must decide whether to embrace the possibility of salvation through Aggie's intervention.
