209 BC: As Hannibal faces defeat in Italy, the struggle between Rome and Carthage has spread to Spain. Mattias commands the Carthaginian army. As new threats emerge, he must battle more than just the hated Roman enemy to protect what he holds most dear. Ilde, a Spanish noblewoman, preserves the fragile loyalty of the indigenous communities through her marriage to Mattias. The war delivers an unexpected opportunity to change her destiny-and that of her beloved nation. Marcus, a Roman officer, is sent in disgrace to the war in Spain. Finding redemption amongst the fighting, he is forced to question his own loyalties and the morality of the war itself. As the war sets Spain ablaze, each must make impossible choices that will decide their own future, the fate of Spain-and the destiny of empires.

In 218, Hannibal Barca, desperate to avenge the defeat of Carthage in the First Punic War, launched an ambitious ground invasion of Italy. The Romans had no answer to Hannibal until the young Scipio volunteered to take over Rome's armies in Spain, which were close to defeat, and left leaderless by the death of Scipio's own father and uncle.
