Formerly Justinian, Lord Sterling, he has lived for centuries in, but not of, our world, serving an ancient entity known only as the Dragon. Justin's reward is immortality, but to keep it he must keep killing. He has grown to hate his interminable life, soaked in blood, almost as much as he fears the hideous death that will be his if he refuses to do the Dragon's bidding.<P>Sandra McCormick is also a loner. A dedicated Chicago cop, fleeing a twisted past as a victim of abuse, McCormick devotes her scant free time to studying the martial artsand occasionally cruising the grunge and punk nightclubs for anonymous one-night stands.<P>These two loners are about to meet. <P>Lieutenant McCormick has been assigned a high-profile case. Two men are dead. One a lawyer, one a cop. Both murdered in a mysterious and particularly gruesome mannertheir still-beating hearts literally torn from their chests. <P>It was Justin who killed the cop, after another disciple bungled the lawyer's death. Now Justin must eliminate the second cop assigned to the case. It little matters that she's a woman. He has done the Dragon's bidding for so long that the slaughter has become routine.<P>But there is something different about this assignmentfor both the cop and the disciple. It is a difference they both reject, and then embrace more and more passionately as the closing circle of Destiny draws them together.<P>For these two dedicated killers, these two confirmed loners, each assigned to stalk the other . . . are falling in love.<P>And love is the one vice the Dragon does not allow. 507677 1 9 1998 Dark Heart (Dragon's Disciple, #1) total:35|5:6|4:11|3:10|2:4|1:4| 35 116 58 3 5 0 false false Thu Feb 05 20:23:52 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 20:24:55 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Thu Mar 26 03:56:04 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 03:56:04 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu Jun 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 08:49:42 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 05 16:05:21 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Nov 10 14:45:47 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 14:45:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 04 22:05:55 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 22:05:56 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Oct 06 07:36:42 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 07:36:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 30 12:00:07 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 12:00:07 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Sat Aug 15 18:19:18 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 05:23:34 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 18:19:18 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Aug 03 18:40:06 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 18:40:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 30 19:52:34 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 19:52:34 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jun 28 03:38:31 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 03:38:31 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jun 17 17:13:03 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 17:13:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 17 08:18:48 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 08:18:48 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Jun 15 20:50:31 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 20:50:37 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 02 19:15:45 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 19:15:45 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed May 20 15:38:25 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 15:38:25 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue May 19 14:03:42 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 14:03:42 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu May 07 12:56:39 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 12:56:39 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Apr 20 19:37:30 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 19:37:30 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Apr 16 13:18:44 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 13:18:44 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=519769
