But Dev has his own thoughts on the matter, and she will soon find it's easier for a vampire to survive in the desert sun than for her to survive without him by her side.
While a full human servant, particularly one with Dev's unique talents, can augment her skills and resources, the more she gets to know him, the more reluctant she is to bind him to her in a way that might get him killed.
But after she takes care of that nasty bit of business, she's also intending to rid Western Australia of a corrupt Region Master who is 500 years old and therefore over twice her age and strength. However, on her return to her sheep station in Western Australia in 1953, she meets Dev, a war veteran and laconic bushman, who has the talents to help her reclaim her station from her mother's lover, who usurped her position there forty years before.
At two hundred years, she's always put it off, having a bachelor's attitude toward bonding with another, even an inferior human. Lady Daniela has never taken a full human servant. Vivid.”-Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Readers can expect plenty of intrigue and danger in this refreshing new series.”-Mystery Scene Magazine With his scrupulous eye for detail, DaVinci uncovers a vile nest of secrets-and danger-but the most surprising secret of all may be the true identity of his most talented, most trusted apprentice. With even the Duke’s closest advisors suspect to treachery, DaVinci is the only man Sforza can trust to conduct the investigation. DaVinci conjures the spectacle in a single night, but his latest success turns bitter when one of the “pieces” is murdered. On a royal whim, Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan, orders a living chess game to be enacted by members of his court. And with his favorite apprentice Dino to aid him, his keen intellect is perfect for sleuthing. “A welcome way to spend an adventurous time in Renaissance Italy.”-Margaret Frazer As Court Engineer to the Duke of Milan, Leonardo DaVinci turns his superior mind to a variety of pursuits-from advances in painting to the invention of war machines.
