"Sweeping in scope and full of action and danger, this well-constructed historical fantasy takes an original look at the nature of creativity. If Nicholas is slightly mustache-twirly in his evilness, the compelling 'immortal muse' Perenelle more than compensates." --Library Journal
"A masterpiece of historical fantasy.... Those looking for a sure-footed, exciting, and thoroughly rewarding race through the history of creativity in the past several centuries--and who doesn't want that?--will not be alone in finding this a book to thrill the passions and mind alike. It is a terrific fantasy, a superlative historical read, and a tragic romance all in one. Highly Recommended!" --SFRevu

"A unique exploration of art, passion, and love." --Heroes and Heartbreakers

This sweeping historical fantasy follows two immortals from the 1300s onward, as they chase one another across time
An immortal Muse whose very survival depends on the creativity she nurtures within her lovers....
Another immortal who feeds not on artistry but on pain and torment....
A chase through time from 1300s Paris to contemporary New York, with two people bound together in enmity and fury....
When magic and science are melded together, an array of the famous and infamous--from Bernini to Vivaldi, from Lavoisier and Robespierre to William Blake, from Gustav Klimt to Charlotte Salomon--will be caught up unawares in this ages-long battle....
