Summary: "The Lion's Brood" by Duffield Osborne is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in ancient Rome, it weaves a tale of war, politics, and personal ambition against the backdrop of the Second Punic War. The story primarily follows Lucius Sergius Fidenas, a young and proud Roman tribune, as he navigates the perils of battle and the complexities of love amidst a city in turmoil. At the start of the narrative, the city is rife with rumors of a devastating defeat at the hands of Hannibal's forces, which leaves citizens anxious and fearful. Lucius, alongside his friend Caius, grapples with the implications of the news and debates the honor of their military leaders. As discontent grows, we are introduced to Lucius' romantic interest in Marcia, the daughter of a prominent senator, further complicating his journey through military duty and personal desire. The opening chapters establish a tone of foreboding while exploring themes of loyalty, honor, and the weight of expectation on those who bear the names of Rome's storied history.
