Italian Renaissance Historical Romance. Dark, intense and totally un-pc. Duke Domenico sees Felicia, a serving girl, in a window and forcibly makes her his mistress.

Really no description could do this book justice. I was very surprised to discover that I had not yet written a review of the Silver Devil. Since I bought a copy in a little used book store in 1989, it has been one of my favorite books. Note: It is out of print and a little hard to find, but well worth the search. This is one of the few romances that explores the darker side of romance. Generally, the poor hero is just misunderstood, he’s really not that bad. The heroine may suffer a bit, but a modern sense of romance will overcome. Vray Plugin For 3ds Max 2013 32 Bit Free Download.

And so often in historical romances, everyone feels like modern people with modern sensibilities that for some reason wander around in tights. The characters in the Silver Devil are intelligent, sophisticated, back stabbing, complex – totally right for their era. Domenico is an incredibly complex character and it is a tribute to Denys skill as a writer that he is so incredibly magnetic. You see, he isn’t a nice or good man.

In any other book, he would be the villain. His entire life he has been encouraged to indulge every vice, mock every virtue. He is capricious and cruel, like a brilliant child with infinite power in his world. However, love isn’t always for nice people. Love can be cruel. Silver Devil is more of a historical than romance. It is set in Renaissance Italy in the fictional dukedom of Cabria.

Felicia, an illegitimate servant, catches the attention of the Domenico, the heir and later the Duke, while she watches the Duke's triumphal procession from the upstairs window of her brother's inn. Later that night Domenico returns to buy her from her brother and forces her to become his mistress. Felicia is now put in a world of political intrigue. Domenico is an alpha- anti-hero.

He is cruel, barbaric, and bi-sexual. At his court there is debauchery, poisoning, spying, intrigue, murder and torture. Felicia may seem to be a doormat. She is a shy, illiterate commoner, not the feisty heroine type, trying to survive in this treacherous world. The story is told in the first person from Felicia's point of view. Although I don't mind first person, I wish there would have been more insight into the mind of Domenico. I only had Felicia's thoughts, but this is only a small criticism.

Silver Devil is a 'cult book' and deservedly so. The plot moves quickly and Teresa Denys captures the dark political intrigue of the time and the brutality needed to survive it. Domenico is not likable or redeemable. It is hard to like or redeem a psychopath. So there is no miraculous personality change. This adds sense of realism. This book will haunt your thoughts.

After reading it, I found that I wanted to learn more about Renaissance Italy. A good historical is like a vacation to another place and time. Cabria in 1605 is a fascinating place to visit and I know I'll go back there again.
