Publisher's summary

A hidden killer . . .

A conspiracy of treachery. . .

And two people caught in the most desperate game of all . . .

In Renaissance Italy, intrigue is as intricate as carved cathedral doors, but none is so captivating as that surrounding the prized Wind Dancer, the lost treasure of a family—and of the man who will stop at nothing to reclaim it. Lionello Andreas is bound by his vow to guard the exquisite statue. But to recover what is rightfully his, he will need the help of a thief—one he can control body and soul. He finds his answer on the treacherous backstreets of Florence, in a sharp-witted young woman whose poverty leaves her no choice. But in the end, the allure of the Wind Dancer, and the ruthlessness of those who would possess her, will catapult them both into a terrifying realm where death may be the most merciful escape.

Not entranced

Not a favorite of this authors books story line very dark throughout most of the story and just did not captivate my attention as her books normally do.

I finally own the Audible Verison

I have the entire series in paperback for over 20 years. Listening to it on Audible instead of reading it made realize I missed a lot of stuff while reading it. While not my favorite book in the series, I did enjoy it. It had a great mix of romance, tragedy, and adventure and it's a great lead in for Book 2, Storm Winds, which is my favorite of the series. I've read that book more times than the others.

So different from what I usually expect from this author. I guess everyone must have the chance to explore other sides to their

The storyline wasn’t what I was expecting. The characters just seemed to fade away in the end after having been more solidly developed throughout the book. Not a favorite! But, I will consider Book 2 in hopes it will reaffirm my faith in the author.
