Absolutely — yes! I fell down the rabbit hole after finishing 'Dark Prince' and couldn't stop hunting for more. 'Dark Prince' is the launchpad for Christine Feehan's Carpathian saga, and there are many subsequent novels that follow other Carpathian men and their lifemates. The books keep returning to the same world and build on its mythology, so if you enjoyed the mix of brooding immortal heroes, psychic bonds, and slow-burn romance, there’s a lot more waiting for you.
If you want a practical route: read in publication order so you catch the worldbuilding and recurring characters as they pop up. You can find full lists on Christine Feehan’s official pages, on reader sites, or in the listings on major retailers. Audiobooks and ebooks are widely available too, and there are omnibus editions and box sets sometimes. Personally, I like bouncing between print and audio — rereading a scene in paper after listening gives it a new flavor.

Absolutely — 'Dark Prince' is the launch point for Christine Feehan's long-running paranormal romance saga. I picked it up because I love those sweeping, gothic romances where the hero feels ancient and the stakes are mythic, and 'Dark Prince' gives you exactly that: Mikhail, a tortured Carpathian prince, and Raven, his lifemate, are the emotional center of a book that sets up the rules of the world. It introduces the Carpathians (vampire-adjacent immortal beings with their own code) and the idea that each male needs a lifemate to reclaim his soul. That framework is what keeps the series moving from book to book.
If you like series that build a shared world but hand the spotlight to different couples each time, you'll enjoy following the rest of the books. They keep coming back to the same mythology and recurring characters, so reading 'Dark Prince' first helps because you understand the vocabulary and the emotional stakes—things like losing color in your world, mating bonds, and the battle against those who prey on Carpathians. There are also shorter pieces, crossovers, and later installments that expand the setting, so most readers follow publication order. For me, starting with 'Dark Prince' felt like opening the first volume of a saga that just kept pulling me into more lives and more tangled relationships. If you want a recommendation for pacing: give the first few chapters a chance—the tone is older-romance-meets-dark-fantasy, and if that hooks you, the rest of the series becomes a delicious rabbit hole I happily fell into.

Okay, here’s the simplest way I tell friends: start with 'Dark Prince' — it’s the very first Carpathian novel Christine Feehan wrote, and it’s the door into the entire world. Read the Carpathian (often called the 'Dark') series in publication order if you want the character relationships and the lore to build naturally. That means after 'Dark Prince' you follow the sequence the author released, because characters and references pop up later and Feehan gradually fills out the world and backstories.
If you want a practical tip: read the full novels in order and sprinkle in the novellas/short stories where they’re listed on the author’s site or on a dedicated series page. Those novellas sometimes explain side characters or give little reunions (they’re like dessert after the main meal). Also be ready for older paranormal-romance tropes — the vibes, pacing, and heat of the early books can feel different from newer romances, but they’re lovingly world-building.
Personally, finishing 'Dark Prince' felt like meeting a mythical race for the first time; after that I kept going because the emotional stakes and world lore kept pulling me back. If you want, I can map out the first ten titles in publication order or point to the most important follow-ups where major characters return.

Christine Feehan's 'Dark Memory' is such a gripping read! If you're looking to buy it, I'd recommend checking out major online retailers first. Amazon usually has both the paperback and Kindle versions available, and sometimes even offers discounts for pre-owned copies. Barnes & Noble is another solid option, especially if you prefer physical books—their website often lists store availability too, so you can pick it up locally if you're impatient like me!
For audiobook lovers, Audible has it narrated, and the performance really brings the paranormal romance to life. Don’t forget indie bookstores! Sites like Bookshop.org support local shops while letting you order online. I found a signed copy once through a small bookstore’s social media post—worth keeping an eye out for those special editions.

Oh man, I love that you asked about 'Dark Prince' — such a staple in paranormal romance for many of us. From what I've seen across different audiobook stores, the unabridged versions of 'Dark Prince' typically fall into the ballpark of about 10 to 12 hours. Different publishers and narrators can shift the listed time by a bit, so it's common to see one edition at, say, 10 hours 30 minutes and another edging toward 11 and a half. I usually check Audible or Apple Books when I'm curious, because they list exact run times right on the title page.
If you're planning your commute or a road trip around it, also remember playback speed. I often listen at 1.25× or 1.5× and suddenly that 11-hour runtime feels like a very manageable 7–9 hours. Abridged editions are rare for novels like this, so when you see the run time it’s almost always the full story unless the listing explicitly says otherwise. If you want, tell me which platform you use and I can walk you through finding the exact minute count there — I do this a lot when setting up my weekend listenathon.

Honestly, no — there hasn’t been a proper TV adaptation of 'Dark Prince' released as of mid-2024. I’ve followed the chatter around Christine Feehan’s Carpathian books for years, and while the title and the series pop up in rumor mills and option lists every so often, nothing made it to a filmed, broadcasted series or official streaming release. Options and development deals can bounce around for years without ever turning into a finished show, and that’s been the story here: interest exists, but not a produced TV show.
Thinking about why it hasn’t happened yet makes me geek out a little. The book is dense with inner monologue, long timelines, and intense romantic tension — all delicious for readers but tricky to translate visually without losing pacing or alienating networks that want clear episodic hooks. If anything ever does get greenlit, I’d bet a streaming service would handle it best: they can lean into serialized storytelling, keep the dark, gothic vibe, and let relationships breathe over multiple seasons. For fans, that means patience and keeping an eye on Christine Feehan’s official channels or publisher press releases, because adaptations often get announced there first.
Personally, I’d love a show that keeps the poetic melancholy of the Carpathian lore, avoids leaning too hard into soap opera tropes, and casts someone who can carry centuries of sorrow in a single look. Until then, I’ll happily re-read 'Dark Prince' and queue up atmospheric playlists that feel like the show I wish existed.
