Dark Memory (A Carpathian Novel, Book 37) By Christine Feehan

In Christine Feehan's latest installment of the Carpathian series, Safia Meziane finds herself facing an ancient evil that threatens her tribe and loved ones. Trained from birth to protect her family, Safia is terrified by the malevolent force that has descended upon their town in Algeria, a darkness she can sense but not fully comprehend.

As the chosen guardian of her tribe, Safia has always believed she would face this challenge alone. However, her family reveals that she has been promised to a Carpathian warrior who will stand by her side in the battle against evil. Petru Cioban, one of the oldest Carpathians alive, has waited for Safia to be reborn for two millennia, longing for the presence of his lifemate.

But their reunion is marred by the return of a formidable enemy, a vampire seeking vengeance from centuries past. Petru must confront both the ancient foe and his own past mistakes, knowing that Safia may never forgive him for his betrayal once her memories return.

Despite the risks, Petru is determined to protect Safia at all costs, willing to sacrifice everything for the woman who holds his immortal soul. As they face their greatest challenge yet, their bond transcends death itself, offering hope in the face of darkness and despair.
