But betrayal and danger soon haunt Elissa and she is forced to flee the kingdom - exiled with a band of loyal followers and a broken heart. After an arduous search for a new home Elissa and her people settle in North Africa and she is crowned Queen Dido: the ferocious and devoted ruler of her newly established city of Carthage. Soon a powerful trading hub Carthage thrives under Dido's governance. But when a band of Trojan survivors led by the valiant Aeneas washes up on a nearby shore Queen Dido is reminded of a promise she made long ago never to trust or to love another again. Can Dido overcome her past and open herself - and her city - up to Aeneas or is their love doomed to burn everything to the ground?
