"Dante’s Italy and the internecine, blood-feuding struggle of the dominant families of the northern city states. This story of corruption and the quest for power is as compelling as Mario Puzo’s Godfather and as thrilling as any of Rafael Sabatini’s historical adventures. David Blixt, with The Master of Verona, has burst onto the literary scene as a master of the historical novel, combining a wonderful evocation of time and place with an easy writing ability that commands the reader’s attention from the outset." – Peter Tremayne.
