About this listen
From the New York Times best-selling author of the Gabriel trilogy comes the hotly anticipated follow-up to The Raven, a sensual novel set in Florence featuring the dangerously intoxicating coupling of Raven and William....
Raven Wood's vampyre prince has returned, pledging his love and promising justice for every wrong done to her. In the wake of their reunion, Raven is faced with a terrible decision - allow the prince to wreak vengeance against the demons of her past or persuade him to stay his hand. But there is far more at stake than Raven's heart....
A shadow has fallen over the city of Florence. Ispettor Batelli will not rest until he uncovers Raven's connection to the theft of the priceless art from the Uffizi Gallery. And while the prince hunts a traitor who sabotages him at every turn, he finds himself the target of the vampyres' mortal enemy.
As he wages a war on two fronts, he will need to keep his love for Raven secret or risk exposing his greatest weakness....
This edition only - includes exclusive bonus material from Gabriel's Inferno.

London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work, and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face. But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

Story
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Worth the Wait!!!!!
Would you listen to The Shadow again? Why?
The story is enchanting. That addicting love between the powerful being and the kind human is written in a very attractive way.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Shadow?
Transitioning between the human world to the underworld in the book gave it an interesting edge that wasn't there is Sylvian Reynard's previous series.
What does John Michael Morgan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
John M. Morgan has a very melodic voice. it's drugging, appealing, and soothing to the senses.

Oh to be in Florence with Prince William!
The story line kept you glued to the book. Passion, angst, power struggles abound. I want to see Florence badly with all the descriptive detail.
The narrator's timber of his voice and the emotion he gave the characters has been fabulous the entire series!!!

The last half
4.5 stars for me. The first half of this story was disappointing only because the author made the mfc so righteous sounding. She was so stuck that her beliefs were the only way that she didn't even give the mmc a thought. I would've understood her standing behind her beliefs more so if she even tried to listen to the man she claimed to love. However, with that said the second half of this story is a 5 stars for me. It was exciting and expanded the story to a new level. I'm excited to continue.

Perhaps a bit slow, but...
I read a lot, and listen to a lot of audiobooks as well, and truly love a great vampire romance. I don't think I've read (or listened to) a romance novel such as this series. It's... highbrow... pinkies up... wordy... but so, SO very good! The world and characters are richly drawn, the writing fluid, with just a dash of spice for flavor. I'm off now to meet the Roman!
