In the shadow of Rome's greatness, power is a blade - and betrayal its edge.
Lady Litia Marcus, noblewoman and sister to the famed gladiator Samuel Marcus, has lived her life in the heart of the Empire's glory. But her world shatters when Samuel falls in the arena, struck down in a fight designed not by fate, but by treachery. His death was no accident - it was a calculated move by the cunning Macrinus, crafted to strip Litia of her honor and bring her low in the eyes of Emperor Geta.
Grief-stricken and burning with vengeance, Litia is thrust into the deadly politics of Rome. Caracalla, ruthless and ambitious, offers her a dangerous alliance. Geta watches her every move, suspicion lingering in his gaze. Macrinus's schemes pull her into a web of deception that could destroy her - or crown her with power.
Torn between loyalty, love, and revenge, Litia must decide: will she bow to the throne, or wield her brother's death as a weapon against the empire itself?
In a world where empires rise and fall, one woman's grief will ignite a war.
