[Dark-Hunter 03] • Sherrilyn Kenyon

Zarek's Point of View:

Dark-Hunter: A soulless guardian who stands between mankind and those who

would see mankind destroyed. Yeah, right. The only part of that Code of Honor

I got was eternity and solitude.

Insanity: A condition many say I suffer from after being alone for so long.

But I don't suffer from my insanity-I enjoy every minute of it.

Trust: I can't trust anyone...not even myself. The only thing I trust in is my

ability to do the wrong thing in any situation and to hurt anyone who gets in

my way.

Truth: I endured a lifetime as a Roman slave, and 900 years as an exiled Dark-

Hunter. Now I'm tired of enduring. I want the truth about what happened the

night I was exiled-I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Astrid (Greek, meaning star): An exceptional woman who can see straight to the

truth. Brave and strong, she is a point of light in the darkness. She touches

me and I tremble. She smiles and my cold heart shatters.

Zarek: They say even the most damned man can be forgiven. I never believed

that until the night Astrid opened her door to me and made this feral beast

want to be human again. Made me want to love and be loved. But how can an ex-

slave whose soul is owned by a Greek goddess ever dream of touching, let alone

holding, a fiery star?
