Once again Nicole Jordan thrills and enchants with this fabulously seductive Regency romance, the next installment in the Paradise series. She is the woman of his dreams . . . and he will pay any price to possess her. From the moment he met the lovely Lady Eve, soldier of fortune Alex Ryder set his sights on winning the spirited beauty. But fate intervened, making Eve another man’s wife then a widow. Now, despite Eve’s ardent vow never to marry again, Ryder aims to use every seductive weapon in his arsenal to woo her. A renowned matchmaker for the ton, Eve defies Ryder’s wicked allure but cannot resist his challenge to find him a suitable bride–never dreaming that she is the only woman he will ever desire for his bride, or that his breathtaking sensuality will awaken her to soul-searing passion. But as their delicious mating dance begins, an assailant threatens Eve’s life. Now Ryder must protect Eve while striving to convince his beloved that he alone is her perfect match in the tantalizing game of love.

她走在美的光彩中，像夜晚 皎洁无云而且繁星满天；明与暗的最美妙的色泽在她的仪容和秋波里呈现；耀目的白天只嫌光太强，她比那光亮柔和而幽暗。 马什船长永远不会忘记他和约书亚的初次见面——他的新赞助人个子很高，有张冷淡的长脸，手指有力，像三角钢琴上的白键。而他的眼睛，是暗夜中河上的迷雾，充斥着笑意、孤独与残酷的激情。 他为马什带来了世界上最美丽，最迅捷的“热夜之梦”号，紧接着是财富，荣誉，和鲜血……古老的血族带着对人类深深的恨意，沿着密西西比河蜿蜒狂奔，掀起夏日里一场宛如瘟疫的噩梦。 光明远遁，黑夜深重。星之所在枯萎，碎裂，爬满青苔，慢慢沉眠于死寂的深渊。 马什对自己发誓，他必将夺回他的船，他的友人，以及日之子民与夜之子民间跨越千年的悲愿……

作為這個系列作品的第四部，《群鴉盛宴》依舊繼承了冰與火之歌恢宏的結構與龐大的世界觀，卻具體將前三部曲中的疑點一一提出，不啻是這系列目前為止最為精采的一部！ 在本書的一開始，塔斯的布琳正在尋找凱特琳夫人的女兒們，瑟曦太后變得喪心病狂，艾莉亞正在接受布拉佛西一位遮住臉的神祕怪客的訓練；以這三個人的故事為主軸，開展了一篇蕩氣迴腸的冒險之旅。 當然，我們也可看到前三部曲中出現過的老面孔：瓊恩‧雪諾、泰溫‧蘭尼斯特、丹妮麗絲‧坦格利安等露臉；雖短暫有如驚鴻一瞥，不過我們會在第五部曲時再見到他們。（第四部曲與第五部曲原是一書，但由於篇牘過於長大，作者不得已將它拆作二書。）

Few books have captivated the imagination and won the devotion and praise of readers and critics everywhere as has George R. R. Martin’s monumental epic cycle of high fantasy. Now, in A Feast for Crows, Martin delivers the long-awaited fourth book of his landmark series, as a kingdom torn asunder finds itself at last on the brink of peace...only to be launched on an even more terrifying course of destruction. A Feast for Crows It seems too good to be true. After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears....With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in King’s Landing. Robb Stark’s demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist—or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out. But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising faces—some familiar, others only just appearing—are seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead. It is a time when the wise and the ambitious, the deceitful and the strong will acquire the skills, the power, and the magic to survive the stark and terrible times that lie before them. It is a time for nobles and commoners, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and sages to come together and stake their fortunes...and their lives. For at a feast for crows, many are the guests—but only a few are the survivors.
