The Shadow
by Sylvain Reynard

From the New York Times bestselling author of the
Gabriel trilogy comes the hotly anticipated follow-up to
The Raven, a sensual novel set in Florence featuring
the dangerously intoxicating coupling of Raven and
William…

Raven Wood’s vampyre prince has returned, pledging his
love and promising justice for every wrong done to her. In
the wake of their reunion, Raven is faced with a terrible
decision—allow the Prince to wreak vengeance against
the demons of her past, or persuade him to stay his hand.
But there is far more at stake than Raven’s heart...

A shadow has fallen over the city of Florence. Ispettor
Batelli will not rest until he uncovers Raven’s
connection to the theft of the priceless art from the Uffizi
Gallery. And while the Prince hunts a traitor who sabotages
him at every turn, he finds himself the target of the
vampyres’ mortal enemy.

As he wages a war on two fronts, he will need to keep his
love for Raven secret, or risk exposing his greatest
weakness…

Sylvain Reynard's Bio

I am honoured to have been a Semifinalist for Best Author in the 2011 Goodreads Choice Awards and for my novel to have been a Semifinalist for Best Romance.

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.
