Since 1978, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro has produced about two dozen novels and numerous short stories detailing the life of a character first introduced to the reading world as Le Comte de Saint-Germain. We first meet him in Paris during the reign of Louis XV when he is, apparently, a wealthy, worldly, charismatic aristocrat, envied and desired by many but fully known to none. In fact, he is a vampire, born in the Carpathian Mountains in 2119 BC, turned in his late-thirties in 2080 BC and destined to roam the world forever, watching and participating in history and, through the author, giving us an amazing perspective on the time-tapestry of human civilization. In The Palace, Renaissance Florence provides the background for this story of the collapse of the artistic and literary life of the city after the death of San Germano's friend, Lorenzo the Magnificent, followed by the rise of the fanatical Savonarola.

Book 2 continues the Hotel Transylvania series, as we travel further back in time into Saint Germaine's prior life in Italy. There he becomes a patron of the arts and friends with Lorenzo Medici, Botticelli, Leonardo and Michael Angelo. Unfortunately after Lorenzo the Magnificent dies Saint Germaine runs afoul of the mad priest Savonarola.Besides the excellent plot and very human characters, it is as if the essential flavor of this period has been exposed for your understanding. The beliefs, motivation and thought processes of Florence in 1490 are quite distinctive and different from France in 1743, which is of course different than American in 2014. It is this cultural immersion and insight into past societal structures which sets this author's writing above all others in this genre. I commend the amount of research that has gone into these books. Amazing!

Enjoyed the historical accuracy
It was a very good read.
I really enjoy this series, I plan on reading more.
ok, if you like the romantic vampires tales, St. Germain is the man for you....lots of intrigue--if you've read any of the previous stories you may find it too predictable
Great read! It's nice to revisit my favorite 70s authors.
Saint-Germaine is the perfect vampire, passionate and powerful. Each superb novel is set in a different era and Yarbro is meticulous in her research. She places the reader in 16th century Italy in this novel and I felt the beauty and stench of the time. Read this to enjoy a tale of a different, fascinating time that just happens to have a discreet vampire.
Although he is an ancient vampire , el Conde St Germain is noble , honest and valiant , admirable as a generous loyal friend and merciful , well somewhat , to his enemies.
The horror , madness and slaughter are the result of religious fanaticism , Christian based this time , led by the mad monk , Savonarola.
It is an interesting reversal of our usual concepts of the undead to have a vampire defending the good and the beautiful .This is an enjoyable adventure and a clever inversion of the more usual formula.
