In Italy, the Greek city of Taras has resolved to resist Roman encroachment. The warlord, Pyrrhus, King of Epirus, will lead their forces but what are his motives? With war in Italy imminent, the factions governing the mighty African City of Carthage conspire to extend their city's influence in Sicily.

Meanwhile, as the Greek cities of Sicily struggle to preserve their freedom, the convoluted web of intrigue spun by the Carthaginian general Himalgo and his agent Calisto engulfs the prostitute Tansia, her protector, Tanos and her mysterious lover.

I love it.
I get hung up on things I like a lot, and right now I'm on a Rome 2 kick. This book is giving anything I could ask, mainly great story. Only thing is, I do wish there was more about Pyrrhus. As you can tell, I play as Epirus. ;)
