BLURB: Fifteenth century Venice is a safe haven for the masterless dregs of the vampire world, a city where they can live without the fear of retribution for violating another’s territory.
Still, there are plenty of ways for a young vampire to die in the glittering city, a lesson that prince turned pauper Mircea Basarab must learn quickly. But there are opportunities, too—in the service of a secretive courtesan, in the bed of a beautiful senator, and in the hunt for an ancient assassin.
As a vendetta older than Venice itself comes to a climax, Mircea struggles to evade the dangers of his current life, to come to terms with his past, and to uncover the truth hidden behind a city of masks…

“You think you’re so different from us, because you lost a palace? A kingdom?” Dark eyes blazed down into his. “Son, I lost a kingdom, too. So did every man here. Maybe our kingdoms were smaller, just a house we built with our own two hands, a wife we loved, a child. But do you think they meant any less? Do you think we mourn their loss one bit less than you?

El libro es bastante entretenido; y eso que no soy fan de Mircea por lo poco que vi de él en los libros de Dorina (su hija) ya que nunca he podido pasar por los libros de Cassandra. Es extraño pensar que este personaje que ahora tiene poder empezó así. Muestra un montón acerca de los status sociales de esta sociedad de vampiros que viven ocultos entre los humanos pese a tener tremendos juegos politicos y desplantes de poder.
Personajes históricos sorprendentes se pasean por sus páginas mezclados firmemente en alteregos fantásticos donde las luchas son feroces y una ascención de estatus es cosas de centenios y no de decenios.
Hay un misterio, intrigas y bueno... me gustó bastante.
