Nisus and Euryalus were just boys when they fled burning Troy with other refugees and their leader Aeneas. But seven years have passed. Now, they’re warriors—fierce, skilled, and determined to prove themselves.

When they finally reach their new homeland in Italy, the fight isn’t over. To prove their bravery (and maybe get some revenge), Nisus and Euryalus take on the ultimate test—a dangerous night raid through enemy territory. If they succeed, they’ll be heroes. If they fail… well, failure isn’t an option.
