Synopsis
The unveiling of a set of priceless
illustrations of Dante’s Divine Comedy at the Uffizi Gallery exposes
the unsuspecting Professor Gabriel Emerson and his beloved wife, Julianne, to a
mysterious and dangerous enemy.
Unbeknownst to the Professor, the illustrations
he secretly acquired years ago were stolen a century earlier from the ruler of
Florence’s underworld. Now one of the most dangerous beings in Italy is
determined to reclaim his prized artwork and exact revenge on the Emersons, but
not before he uncovers something disturbing about Julianne …
Set in the city of Florence, “The Prince” is a
prequel novella to “The Raven,” which is the first book in the new Florentine
Series Trilogy by Sylvain Reynard.
“The Prince” can be read as a standalone but
readers of The Gabriel Series may be curious about the connection between The
Professor’s world and the dark, secret underworld of “The Prince.”
I view “The Prince” as
a bridge between The Gabriel Series and “The Raven.” It’s a chance to see
Gabriel and Julianne and also meet new characters from The Florentine Series.

"Let
the Emersons view themselves as modern incarnations of Dante and
Beatrice. It mattered not. Mercy was not a part of the Prince’s nature

Synopsis
From the New York Times
bestselling author of the Gabriel Series comes a dark, sensual tale of
romance in a city shrouded in mystery…
Raven Wood spends her days at Florence’s Uffizi Gallery restoring fine works of Renaissance art. But an innocent walk home after an evening with friends changes her life forever. When she intervenes in the senseless beating of a homeless man, his attackers turn on her, dragging her into an alley. Raven is only semi-conscious when their assault is interrupted by a cacophony of growls followed by her attacker’s screams. Mercifully, she blacks out, but not before catching a glimpse of a shadowy figure who whispers to her…
Cassita vulneratus.
When Raven awakes, she is inexplicably changed. She returns to the Uffizi, but no one recognizes her and more disturbingly, she discovers that she’s been absent an entire week. With no recollection of the events leading up to her disappearance, Raven also learns that her absence coincides with one of the largest robberies in Uffizi history – the theft of a set of priceless Botticelli illustrations. When the baffled police force identifies her as its prime suspect, Raven is desperate to clear her name. She seeks out one of Florence’s wealthiest and elusive men in an attempt to uncover the truth about her disappearance. Their encounter leads Raven to a dark underworld whose inhabitants kill to keep their secrets…
