About this ebook
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.

This book probably his the most evil bad guy I have encountered in any book I can think of right now. Read it over and over through the years and I still find myself in tears at those crucial parts, or simply in shock at the devastation he subjects them to. But I love the love story, the main characters, as well as the morality issues confronted in the book. Never have I rooted for a side-chick, but I did here. Definitely a favourite

I'm an avid reader of Johansen, but this has to be one of my favorites.
