The White Fortress, Morrison & Morrison - B
This the third in the 14th-century series featuring Sir Gerard Fox and his wife Willa. This one is set in Croatia and revolves around the vast wealth created by the salt resources in the city of Ston. The ruler of Dubrovnik wishes to make Ston part of the Serbian Empire. Fox and Willa find themselves assisting a couple they meet in Rhodes and wind up in the middle of a Balkan conflict. They defend Ston against a Serbian attack, and plan a return to France. Not as compelling as the first two, and I'm not sure if the authors are finished or are planning more. Fun historical fiction.
