Now a brilliant young Carthaginian general, called Hannibal, is out for revenge.

soldier and confidant of Hannibal, and Quintus, son of a Roman equestrian and
landowner. A disastrous adventure will see Hanno sold into slavery and bought by
Quintus' father. Although an unexpected friendship springs up between the two
