In the Amazon rain forest exists the Jaguar people. Solange Sangria is one of the last of this noble breed. She fights to save the few other jaguar women who have been kidnapped and abused by her own father. He aims to save only the women who can shift and he can breed. Aligning with local vampires who aim to destroy the Carpathians, they are setting up a computer database of any women with psychic powers. Any of these women who have shifter capabilities are to be directed to the Jaguar men. Along with the database there is a laboratory to hold the captured women and now to gather a group of vampires setting out to rule the world. Solange lives her life saving the women she can while being hunted by the males of her species including her evil father. She know that this can not last for ever and that each day may be her last.
In the middle of all of the rainforest's turmoil, comes an ancient Carpathian, Dominic of the Dragonseeker. He believes he is close to turning vampire and as he has yet to meet his true life mate, he sets in motion a plan to ingest the parasite that let other vampires know one another. He plans to infiltrate the labs and compound and end their plan to destroy the Carpathians. Little does he know that the dream woman he has been communicating with may be closer than he thinks. Color and emotions may be in his future. With patience and understanding these two who met in dreams may overcome the obstacles of their current paths to destruction. They may even learn to love as lust does not seem to be a problem.
Christine Feehan has written many "Dark" novels and this is just as enjoyable as the others. There is plenty of danger, action and lust and romance in this book, while the hunt to end all dangers to Carpathians continues. In that Xavier was killed in a previous novel, pieces of him continue to cause trouble in many forms and fashions.
