You were never meant to survive.

The daughter of Senator Cornelius, born into Rome's highest circles. You grew up unaware that everything around you was part of a larger plan, one that would soon shatter your entire world. When your family is slaughtered for daring to dream of a free Republic, you become the last living symbol of their cause, and a hunted prize.

Now you're on the run, a fugitive in a collapsing empire that wants your name erased.

General Marcus Acacius carried out the orders himself. But the truth behind the massacre is more complicated than anyone knows and not everything is as it seems.

In a world of betrayal, death, and buried truths, survival might mean trusting the very man who destroyed everything.
