It took me a long time to get into this book. Eventually, their paths cross and their lives are changed completely. Sandra McCormack is a Chicago cop who has survived the abuse of her ex-husband and is investigating a string of violent and unexplainable murders. In Dark Heart by Margaret Weis and David Baldwin, Lord Justin Sterling is an immortal who serves a mysterious being he calls master and, for whom, he kills repeatedly. Our newest project is creating the RPG for the wonderful TV series, Firefly. I am the owner of the company, Margaret Weis Productions, publisher of RPGs. My hobby is flyball racing with my dogs, Dixie, a border collie, and two crackhead Shelties, Joey the Thug and Clancy the Hooligan. The second book is Storm Riders, coming out from Tor in July 2013. I am currently working on the third book in the Dragon Brigade series, the Seventh Sigil. I graduated from the University of Missouri–Columbia and now live in Wisconsin with dogs, Max, Dixie, Joey the Thug and Clancy the Hooligan. I also wrote two paranormal romance novels, Fallen Angel and Warrior Angel, with my daughter, Elizabeth Baldwin. These include: Darksword, Rose of the Prophet, Star of the Guardians, DeathGate, Dragonvarld, Sovereign Stone, Dragonships, and the Dragon Brigade. I've written numerous novels and short stories set in the world of Krynn, as well as series in other, original worlds. And love is the one vice the Dragon does not allow.įantasy novelist who, along with Tracy Hickman, was one of the original creators of the Dragonlance game world.

For these two dedicated killers, these two confirmed loners, each assigned to stalk the other. It is a difference they both reject, and then embrace more and more passionately as the closing circle of Destiny draws them together.

But there is something different about this assignment-for both the cop and the disciple. He has done the Dragon's bidding for so long that the slaughter has become routine. Now Justin must eliminate the second cop assigned to the case. It was Justin who killed the cop, after another disciple bungled the lawyer's death. Both murdered in a mysterious and particularly gruesome manner-their still-beating hearts literally torn from their chests. Lieutenant McCormick has been assigned a high-profile case. A dedicated Chicago cop, fleeing a twisted past as a victim of abuse, McCormick devotes her scant free time to studying the martial arts-and occasionally cruising the grunge and punk nightclubs for anonymous one-night stands. 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. Justin's reward is immortality, but to keep it he must keep killing. Formerly Justinian, Lord Sterling, he has lived for centuries in, but not of, our world, serving an ancient entity known only as the Dragon.
