From the New York Timesbestselling
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 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 semiconscious when their assault is interrupted by a
cacophony of growls followed by her attackers’ 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. Upon
returning to the Uffizi, no one recognizes her. More
disturbingly, she discovers that she’s been absent an
entire
week. With no recollection of her disappearance, Raven
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 police identify her as
their prime suspect, Raven is desperate to clear her name.
She seeks out one of Florence’s wealthiest and most elusive
men in an attempt to uncover the truth. Their encounter
leads Raven to a dark underworld whose inhabitants kill to
keep their secrets . . .
