The great general Hannibal Barca is on the verge of defeat. As the ambitious senator Flamininus plots his path to power, he knows victory will crown Rome the most powerful empire in the world. Only unconquered Greece stands in the way of glory. King Philip V of Macedon's mighty phalanx is an enemy Rome has long feared, and one that has never known defeat. Demetrios has dreamed of fighting with the phalanx his whole life, but the young villager will soon learn that, in a clash of empires, you're only ever one swing of the sword away from death--or entering legend.
