Book Description:
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.

Kathleen A R. (Iris Johansen's first book in the Wind Dancer series. Not as intriguing as the follow up books but still a good read.
At first when I realized that the book was set in 1503, I was not looking forward to another boring historical novel, but I was soooo proven wrong!!!! This held my attention. Romance, history, suspense. I loved this book and am so glad I continued to read. I'm really looking forward to the next in the trilogy, although this stood on it's own very well.
I loved this book. The author captured me. I found myself caught up in the emotions of the characters -- even to the point of tears.
The indomitable slave Sanchia and the man who bought her on a back street in Florence.Passionate, powerful condottiere Lionello Andreas would love Sanchia and endanger her with equal wild abandon as he sought to win back the prize possession of his family, THE WIND DANCER.
Renaissance Ittaly, where intrigues were as intricate as carved cathedral doors and affairs of state were ruled by affiars of the bedchamber. Murder, the plague, and of course the vileness of the catholic church, behind most of the misery.
LOVED this series. Wish I had the rest. This is a double copy. Worn but intact.
this is part of wind dancer series that shows to what extremes men will go to possess ower and influence. good plot
