Atticus and his fleet wait in Carthage for reinforcements from Rome while the rebel mercenaries tighten their hold on the surrounding territory. News that additional ships are approaching offers the possibility of ending the campaign, but the alliance between Romans and Carthaginians remains fragile. Each side remembers the recent Punic War, and neither trusts the other to place shared survival above national advantage.
An act of betrayal against Roman allies sets off a cycle of reprisal that threatens to destroy the coalition from within before it can defeat the rebels. Atticus, Septimus and Hamilcar Barca must confront deception among their own forces as well as the enemy outside Carthage. The final novel brings the trilogy to a violent conclusion in which political calculation and private vengeance prove as dangerous as any formal battle.
