Heart of Stone
Can a monster choose to be good?
That's the question facing Kyra Anastas. With snakes for hair and a gaze that turns men to stone, Kyra is a modern-day Medusa, making a living in Chicago as a hitwoman for hire. Feared and hated even by her fellow Mythic, she lives a solitary and bitter existence until a dying millionaire asks Kyra to protect her daughter from supernatural dangers. Eager to be more than just a dealer of death, Kyra takes the job. But the road to redemption will force Kyra to face all her demons— not just the monsters chasing them across the Windy City, but also the horrors that haunt her own evil past.
David W. Burns began writing fiction when he was six years old, penning macabre tales which amused (and disturbed) his family. A lifelong fan of all stories which blend the real and the impossible, he has written many urban fantasy short stories, including "Night Surf," which won the Grand Prize in the 14th Annual Writer's Digest Popular Fiction Awards. By day (and some evenings) a trial attorney, David lives in Marlton, New Jersey with his kind and very patient wife and his three wonderful children.
