Come on a journey with a Celtic cavalryman in this thrilling tale set in the Second Punic War of Hannibal Barca.
Insubrian cavalryman Ducarius has always kept to the margins—talented, bitter, and shackled by family shame. At twenty-five, his life is small, petty, and safe.
But when a stranger's gossip tears open the wounds of his family's fate, Ducarius is filled with rage. The disgrace that ruined his bloodline wasn't just Roman cruelty—it was betrayal, bought and sold by those Ducarius once called kin.
When word spreads of a foreign warlord carving through the Alps with fire and steel, Ducarius sees the hand of fate. Here is chaos enough to drown his enemies—and opportunity enough to claim the vengeance that has rotted in his heart for years.
Now his path will twist through blood-soaked battlefields, impossible alliances, and a love that could destroy him. By the time the mists rise on Lake Trasimene—and spears glimmer in the dawn—Ducarius must choose: how far will he go to right a wrong, and what will be left of a man once the debts of old betrayals are finally paid?
Step into the fog where oaths, honor, and survival swim in blood. The Mist of Trasimene is a searing tapestry of betrayal, ambition, passion, and the dark cost of justice at history's edge.
