The Raven
by Sylvain Reynard
Blurb:
From the New York Times bestselling 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 fine works of 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
semi-conscious when their assault is interrupted by a cacophony of growls followed by her attacker’s
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. She returns to the Uffizi, but no one recognizes her
and more disturbingly, she discovers that she’s been absent an entire week. With no recollection of the
events leading up to her disappearance, Raven also 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 baffled
police force identifies her as its prime suspect, Raven is desperate to clear her name. She seeks out one
of Florence’s wealthiest and elusive men in an attempt to uncover the truth about her disappearance.
Their encounter leads Raven to a dark underworld whose inhabitants kill to keep their secrets…

About the
Author
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
