Vindictus
History says Hannibal Barca died more than two thousand years ago.
History is wrong.
For centuries, Hannibal has lived in the shadows, carrying the memory of a civilization Rome erased, and a debt that has never been paid.
But immortality does not mean escaping the past. It means living long enough for the unfinished business of history to find you.
In the present day, the past stirs once again. Ancient families still wield power behind the scenes. Old bloodlines remember promises the world has forgotten. And lives separated by millennia are beginning to collide.
For Hannibal, the danger is more than an ancient vendetta. Something he believed lost long ago has returned, in a form he never expected, and it draws him toward a reckoning that began before Rome destroyed Carthage.
Blending historical intrigue with a contemporary thriller, VINDICTUS follows one of history’s most legendary commanders into a modern world where ancient loyalties endure, vengeance has a long memory, and some wars never truly end.
The past never dies. It hunts.
