Author Description

Hamilcar Barca dedicates his life to Rome's destruction. For Rome to burn, he needs to leave a legacy of blood and iron. Yet his son, Hannibal, is unfit to be a conquering Barca. Harsh training only partially prepares the young Hannibal to face an assassin, supervise torture, and endure a murderous cavalry-flanking ride against savage Celtic tribes that may turn the tide in the battle for Spain.Friendships are tested, family allegiances betrayed, and blood is spilled as Hannibal endures the pounding trials that will forge him into Rome's most lethal enemy.
