In the First Punic War, the Roman legions defeated and
humiliated Carthage, their only serious rival for power in the Mediterranean.
Now a brilliant young Carthaginian general, called Hannibal, is out for revenge.
Caught up in the maelstrom are two young boys, Hanno, the son of a distinguished
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
boys - and with Quintus' sister, Aurelia - the fortunes of the two warring
empires once again separates them. They find themselves on opposite sides of the
conflict and an alliance forged through slavery will be played out to its
stunning conclusion in battle.
