With a dark magic all his own, Gregori--the implacable hunter, the legendary healer, the most powerful of Carpathian males--whispered in Savannah's mind that he was her destiny. That she had been born to save his immortal soul. And now, here in New Orleans, the hour had finally come to claim her. To make her completely his.

My take on the book:

DARK MAGIC is the fourth book in the Carpathian series written by Christine Feehan. For nearly a thousand years Gregori, the relentless hunter of the undead and the most powerful healer of the Carpathians has struggled with the darkness teetering on the brink of madness; the beast within him strong. He can wait no longer and claim his lifemate Savannah Dubrinsky, daughter of the Prince of the Carpathians. Savannah is a world famous magician and more than anything she desires her own independence and does not want to be a lifemate to anyone. She is especially weary of one as powerful and menacing as Gregori.

Years before, he came to claim her as his lifemate. Right away she notices how very different Gregori is from the other young men. Afraid, she runs from him; she runs from his dark sensuality and the intensity of her feelings for him. He knows that if he should turn vampire, he would tear the world apart. Gregori can no longer trust himself and seizes Savannah. But it is too late. Having her presence near him sends him toppling over the edge. The struggle between man and beast is AWESOME and totally believable in one who has struggled with insurmountable darkness for endless centuries. Savannah merges her mind with his and "feels" the suffering he has endured for her. For the first time, she understands Gregori's plight.

DARK MAGIC is brimming with dark emotions, incredible sensuality and violence. All of us who have read the very first book in the series knows that Gregori is a hard man. He has suffered more than any other Carpathian for he is called upon to dispense justice and all of that killing has taken its toll. His own people fear him and the immense power he possesses. Knowing this, he willingly isolates himself even though he is aching for acceptance. He believes his soul is forever lost and in a desperate bid for salvation, he tampers with nature. He agonizes over Savannah one day discovering how he had manipulated their chemistry many years before. Agonizes that there very well might be her "true" lifemate waiting for her. Agonizes that her heart will never be his!

This like the other three books was well worth the read & was impossible to put down!
