With this prologue, Serena<br />

begins a spellbinding tale of<br />

the founding of Rome. It is<br />

not the popular legend so<br />

many of us have heard, but<br />

an elaborate historical<br />

fantasy that blends<br />

adventure, mythology, and<br />

our knowledge of ancient<br />

Italy.<br />

Forced from their village by<br />

the beautiful yet malevolent<br />

goddess Discordia, a group<br />

of young people from Alba<br />

Longa is ceaselessly<br />

challenged by supernatural<br />

forces as they try to find a<br />

new home. Always at their<br />

side is a great white dog,<br />

Nivea, who possesses<br />

mysterious powers. They<br />

eventually arrive at a place<br />

with seven hills near the<br />

Tiber River, and omens<br />

suggest they should settle<br />

there. Discordia, however,<br />

has other plans, and an<br />

ultimate confrontation takes<br />

place.<br />
