Inhaltsangabe

In the year 1282, after their daring heroics liberating Sicily, Esmeray and Bastone find a haven on the island of Favignana.
But the War of the Sicilian Vespers reignites, dragging them into their prior roles as spies. Finding strength in each other, they once more join the patriots to rid the Angevins from Sicily. They return to their sanctuary in Favignana, sharing the welcome challenge of raising their adventurous daughter, Aspasia.
Esmeray and Bastone, however, long for the open sea, and she accepts command of a trading vessel, but questions if the sea is the best home for their daughter. Their family bonds grow stronger with each crisis as they overcome storms, pirates, and deadly threats from rival traders.
Then once again, the never-ending War of the Sicilian Vespers shatters their life, compelling them to return to Sicily. Do they fight or pursue new horizons?
The Mediterranean Sea, its name derived from the Latin words medius and terra, “sea in the middle of the earth” is a crucible, a mixing pot of people and cultures, the cradle of many civilizations, giving birth to the Children of the Middle Sea, the second volume of the Lover of the Sea series.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Since childhood, Mike Ponzio has read about history, trading books with his father, Joseph E. Ponzio. Mike's love of history, family, and his travels have inspired him to write Ancestry Novels. The stories chronicle the lives of historical characters which the author imagines may have been his family's ancient ancestors. Mike met his wife, Anne Davis, in 1975 at a University of Florida karate class. Both continue to practice and teach Cuong Nhu Martial Arts. With John Burns, they wrote six instructional books on martial arts weapons. Mike retired in 2015, after working as an environmental engineer for thirty-seven years. Anne and Mike have raised four sons, who are also engineering graduates, following in the footsteps of their Davis and Ponzio grandfathers.
