Sicily 213 BC: Fabius, a young Roman legionary, has been exiled to Sicily with his comrades after their defeat on the blood-soaked field of Cannae. They have no hope of returning home and regaining their honour unless Rome wins the war. And that does not seem at all likely.Rome’s commander, Marcellus, must use the demoralised Cannae survivors to capture the impregnable city of Syracuse. Fabius is placed under the command of Titus, an arrogant glory seeker, who puts Fabius’s life in jeopardy, setting them both on a pathway that will bind their fates together. Fabius must overcome Titus and insuperable odds when he faces the Syracusans and their Carthaginian allies. He discovers friends in unexpected places and a vicious and ruthless old enemy that put his courage and honour to the test in a fight that will decide his and his comrade’s fate and the fate of Rome itself.
