Find out and talk about medieval history, Sicily and the Mediterranean during the Crusades, food and culture, what did medieval people eat and drink (our sleuth is a tavern owner, after all!!) and what about money and trade? Spices and what about the streets of a medieval town after dark? And what about the women in medieval Sicily? What did they wear, eat, drink and how did they get married (or not)?

Corleone - Leo's estate in the Sicilian countryside
At the endAt th e end of book 2, Malice Stalks the Leopard, our heroes and heroines flee Palermo to the countryside to Leo's estate, La Serenita, as the Angevins and the Aragonese desperately fight for the island capital. Ysabella finds that her return to the country gives her peace of mind and for the first time, really enjoys the rhythm of the seasons. Her fear of the violence she experienced in Palermo makes her want to remain in the countryside, while Amodeus feels differently. He wants to return to Palermo and rebuild The Leopard. What will happen to their marriage?
