Synopsis

The thrilling prequel to Ben Kane's Hannibal: Fields of Blood. An exclusive straight to digital short story.

With peril on every side and a deadly ambush ahead, there is no certainty that either Hanno or Mutt will survive ...

I enjoyed the characters, the dialogue, the setting, the pacing, the action, etc. In short, it completely sucked me in and I was......more
