Giaco & Luca

Few men walk into shadow. Fewer walk out. Giaco, famed battle hero turned bodyguard, is a Reborn man. He believes in reason, harmony, and intellect, and leaves magic for the foolish and superstitious. But when his charge, young Prince Luca, is stolen away, Giaco must set off on a search that will cause him to question everything he knows. The Rebirth is changing the face of La Città dei Fiori, but the old ways still hold sway, especially in the dark places of the city. In order to get Luca back, Giaco will have to undergo a different kind of Rebirth - one of fear and shadow. Set in a fantasy version of Renaissance Florence, The Shadowy Man combines magic and mystery in a fast-paced story of suspense that will appeal to fans of dark and historical fantasy, as well as occult and paranormal thrillers. It is the first book in the Giaco and Luca series but can be listened to as a stand-alone.

The shadows are speaking. Can their riddle be unraveled? Eleven years ago, Royal bodyguard Giacomo da Prado first followed young Prince Luca into the shadows. Plunged against his will into a world of illicit magic, Giaco has tried to hold onto the rationality of a Reborn man, even as he walks the line between the two worlds. But now, called upon to serve as Prince Luca's bodyguard once again, Giaco has to face all his worst fears. Luca has disappeared into the shadows - and Giaco's beloved wife, the famed card-reader Amanda, is in danger of being pulled after him. Can Giaco overcome his training and his innate distaste of dark magic in order to save the two people he loves the most? Set in a magical version of Renaissance Florence, The City of Shadows will appeal to fans of paranormal and occult suspense as well as dark fantasy. It is book three in the Giaco and Luca series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.
