The Young Carthaginian

Heat pressed soldiers and animals motionless beneath two groves while the western sun sank toward the Libyan hills. You had checked the tent opening so often that your cousin Adherbal began counting each impatient visit aloud. You step into this one-chapter preview with Hamilcar at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. A low growl passed through the grove, and the first charge belonged to the next chapter. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
