The narrative is set in ancient Carthage and revolves around the character of Salambo, the daughter of the war general Hamilkar, and the tumultuous events surrounding her and the mercenaries in the city. This rich tale explores themes of power, loyalty, and the complexities of human desire against the backdrop of war and societal strife. The opening of the novel sets a vivid scene at a grand feast in the gardens of Hamilkar, where mercenaries celebrate their past victories and the current turmoil in Carthage. Soldiers of various backgrounds indulge in excessive revelry, reflecting a mix of camaraderie and underlying tension.
