This is the story of three different women, all at a crossroads in their lives. The legendary Tyrian Queen Dido established a new city so she and her people could be free from oppression. Carthage, her city, was her chance to show everyone that no matter the odds, you and only you are in charge of your own destiny. Carthage became famous throughout the ancient world for its trade, its people, and the opportunities it offered. Unfortunately, the magnificence of this great city was not within everyone's reach. In a city dominated by men, a young girl's dream of freedom was no one's concern. Alyssa was a young Carthaginian girl, still trying to find her path. She was from a noble family, who believed her only value was to marry well. Alyssa was inspired by Dido, a great leader, and by her friend Perpetua who was a young Christian condemned to death in the Arena for her faith in the prophet, they both inspired her to fight for her own freedom, no matter the price.
