Hannibal: Fields of Blood
“I’ll do what I want, she thought fiercely. My mother can go to Hades! One of Martialis’ two slaves threw her another questioning look, but her immediate scowl made his gaze drop. Her mixture of cajolery and threats had got the pair beyond the gate; she hoped that it would take them as far as the family farm. Aurelia wished again that Gaius were around; he would have accompanied her. No, it was better that he wasn’t here, she decided. She was to marry Lucius now. There was no point putting any m...ore temptation in her way. Besides, Gaius was long gone, sent with his unit to bolster Fabius’ forces. Lucius might have come if she’d asked, but she didn’t want his company. He was part of the reason that she was going.If only her mother hadn’t been so assiduous in winning over Lucius’ father, she thought. But Atia had been like a dog with a bone. She and Lucius were to wed within the next few months. Aurelia had grown somewhat resigned to that fact – her father had given his blessing to the union, so there wasn’t much she could do about it – but she was determined to savour her last months of relative freedom.MoreLess

It has been very entertaining, the autor had spent time investigating the way of Romans living and their enemies, his imagination brings the reader under nervous tension that makes to keep reading, to know the outcome of the events in this epic history. The characters show the human site in spite of all the horror that is always present in the wars and the suffering.Write Review:
