This Rough Magic

Chernobogs attempt to seize Venice has been thwarted, but the demon power remains and the guardian Lion-spirit cannot protect lands beyond the city. When the King of Hungary lays siege to Corfu, the heroes who awakened the Lion are trapped far from its protection. Manfred and Erik lead resistance against the invaders while Maria discovers ancient magic that may turn the tide. The sequel continues the political and supernatural struggle begun in The Shadow of the Lion.
