Leonardo is targeted for assassination and
Incurs a debt to Cesare Borgia
Leonardo da Vinci and his Latin tutor, the dwarf, Niccolo da Pavia return to Florence to discover a group of mysterious mourners are mutilating famous art by Donatello, Uccello and Botticelli.
An assassination attempt on Leonardo is prevented with the help of Cesare Borgia and an investigation into the vandalism puts Leonardo and the Borgias in conflict with the Medici Family.
Artists and Assassins, (Formerly titled Florentine Mourners) explores the motives driving the vandals to destroy artifacts and examines what would bring Leonardo, an artist who called war a bestial madness into the service of the warlord, Cesare Borgia.
