The unveiling of a set of priceless illustrations of Dante’s Divine Comedy at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence exposes Professor Gabriel Emerson and his beloved wife, Julianne, to a mysterious enemy. Gabriel may have acquired the illustrations only a few years ago, but unbeknownst to him, they were stolen a century earlier from the ruler of Florence’s underworld.

excerptIn the distance, the Prince could hear voices and muffled sounds. He approached silently, almost floating across the floor.Desperate groans and the rustling of fabric filled his ears, along with the twin sounds of rapidly beating hearts. He could smell their scents, the aromas heightened due to their sexual arousal.He growled in reaction. The corridor was shrouded in darkness but the Prince could see that the professor had his wife up against a window between two statues, her legs wrapped around his waist. Her voice was breathy as she spoke, but the Prince tuned out her words, moving closer so he could catch a glimpse of her lovely face.At the sight of it, flushed with passion, his old heart quickened and he felt the stirrings of arousal. It was not his custom to observe rather than participate. But on this occasion, he decided to make an exception. Careful to remain in the darkness, he moved to the wall opposite the couple. The woman squirmed in her lover’s arms, her high heels catching on his tuxedo jacket. Her fingers flew to his neck, undoing his bow tie and tossing it carelessly to the floor. She unbuttoned his shirt, and her mouth moved to his chest, as murmurs of pleasure escaped his lips. The Prince felt more than desire as he watched the woman’s eager movements. He caught a glimpse of her exquisite mouth and the toss of her long hair that would no doubt feel like silk between his fingers. She lifted her head to smile at the man who held her close and he could see love in her eyes.

review

It now appears that if Sylvain Reynard wrote the phone book I would love it. Once again Sylvain captured me with exquisite writing. I love that a novella was wrote to gives us the bridge from The Gabriel’s Inferno Series to this one. Sylvain has a very fluid writing style connecting these two worlds.

I didn’t think I could love another character as much as Gabriel, but the Prince is going to give him a run for his money. The Prince is dark, mysterious and kind of scary. I’m very interested to read The Raven and see how this world continues. Wonderful novella to connect a series I loved to one that I’m very interested in reading more of.

About Sylvain Reynard

I'm interested in the way literature can help us explore aspects of the human condition - particularly suffering, sex, love, faith, and redemption. My favourite stories are those in which a character takes a journey, either a physical journey to a new and exciting place, or a personal journey in which he or she learns something about himself/herself.

I'm also interested in how aesthetic elements such as art, architecture, and music can be used to tell a story or to illuminate the traits of a particular character. In my writing, I combine all of these elements with the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the transformative power of goodness.

I try to use my platform as an author to raise awareness about the following charities: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation, WorldVision, Alex's Lemonade Stand, and Covenant House. For more information, see my Twitter account.
