What this book is about
Zarek is the Dark-Hunter that all other Dark-Hunters fear—a man so damaged by centuries of abuse and isolation that he expects nothing from anyone. Astrid, a nymph-judge, is sent to determine if he should be destroyed. Dance with the Devil is considered one of the series' best: a profoundly damaged hero and a heroine with the patience to see who he actually is.
