2nd volume in the author's 2nd Punic war trilogy. Very readable. Excellent description of the Battle of Cannae. Can be read as a standalone. Story told by three points of view: Hanno, a Carthaginian, Quintus and Aurelia, Roman brother and sister. Aurelia was annoying, a typical adolescent.

Ooooh! This book was such a treat! I just loved, loved, loved it! With an anthology with different authors (most of whom I haven't read before), it can be a mystery whether every story is quality and the work as a whole is cohesive. However, I was pleasantly surprised, and I have some new authors that I MUST check out.

My favorite stories were the heiress by Sophie Perinot, the senator by Kate Quinn, and the ex-soldier by Ben Kane. These stories were so poignant to me. I've read everything by Quinn and just love her. I was surprised to see familiar characters in her story, but I got to see a side of them I haven't before. It was like meeting new friends. These characters transformed as the catastrophe stripped them down to their core values, and I loved watching these people dig deep to find what was most important to them.

Middle of the road stories included the youth at the beginning and the priestess and whore at the end. There was some growth for these characters, but I don't feel like the authors had enough time to develop them. They felt pretty two dimensional, and they didn't grow quite as much as the characters in my favorite stories. It felt more like the authors were trying to tell me they grew rather than the characters showing me that.

My least favorite story was the mother by E. Knight. Let me preface by saying I still enjoyed this story. It's sad and futile, these characters, but it didn't pull me in quite like the others. Mostly, I was frustrated with the narrators, as they dealt with the fact that they'd failed as caretakers. It's a hard perspective to write, and it showed.

Overall, fantastic collection! Can't wait to read the other two books in the series!

Durante la Primera Guerra Púnica, las legiones romanas derrotaron a Cartago, su único rival en todo el Mediterráneo. Pero hoy Aníbal, un brillante general cartaginés, prepara la venganza.
Paralelamente, dos jóvenes (Hanno, el hijo de un confidente de Aníbal, y Quinto, hijo de un terrateniente) se verán inmersos en un periplo que amenaza, cuando ya se oyen tambores de guerra, con destrozar la amistad entre dos chicos criados en imperios enfrentados...

La legión olvidada ha partido hacia Margiana, en las fronteras del mundo conocido. En ella se encuentran el gladiador Romulus, el galo Brennus y el vidente Tarquinius, tres hombres con razones de sobra para odiar Roma. Un ataque sangriento de las tribus escitas deja un reguero de muerte y destrucción, y plantea un nuevo peligro para Romulus y sus amigos.
