The thrilling conclusion to The Greatest Enemy trilogy.

When every side has betrayed you, choose your own.

Italy & Africa, 216–202 B.C.

The blood of Cannae has barely dried, but for Ducarius, the war has become personal. Hannibal's refusal to deliver justice for a slain brother-in-arms is a wound no battlefield glory can heal, and the consuming need for vengeance now wars with a love that has no place in an age of slaughter.

Driven north by betrayal and south by ambition, Ducarius will rise higher than he ever imagined and fall further than he thought possible. Old enemies lurk in his own village. New ones carry Carthaginian silver and sweeter lies. And across the sea, on the sun-scorched plains of Africa, a reckoning awaits that will decide the fate of empires.

But by the time the ash settles at Zama—and the flames die on a war that has consumed half the world—Ducarius will learn the terrible price of a life spent chasing vengeance, and whether anything he loves can survive it.

The Greatest Enemy trilogy reaches its powerful conclusion.

Start the series with The Mist of Trasimene (Book 1).
