Synopsis

Carthage: The Sacred Blade Tagline: An ancient power returns. A family secret burns. Synopsis In 146 BC, Carthage was burned to ash by Rome. The last priest of the Sacred Blade vanished with the empire’s deadliest weapon — and was lost to history. Two thousand years later, the blade awakens beneath the streets of New York City. Archaeologist Livia Claudius digs into her family’s shadowed past and uncovers a truth buried for millennia: her bloodline was sworn to guard the blade at all costs. Her uncle Servius, the ruthless patriarch of the powerful Claudius clan, has spent his life upholding that ancient oath in secret. But the blade has called its original keeper back.
