battle betrayal emperor empire fame historical power

In the heart of ancient Rome, where power is seized with blood and betrayal lurks in every shadow, the mighty Valerius dynasty falls to ruin. The once-great ruler and his family are brutally slaughtered in a coup led by treacherous conspirators-except for one. Lucius Valerius, the sole heir, barely escapes the carnage, left for dead in the untamed wilderness beyond the city's walls.

With nothing but his wits and an unyielding thirst for vengeance, Lucius is forced to fight, adapt, and survive in the brutal underworld of Rome. From the lawless slums to the gladiator pits, from war-torn battlefields to the grand halls of treachery, he gathers allies-outcasts, rebels, and warriors who, like him, have nothing left to lose.

As the empire rots under the rule of corrupt tyrants, whispers of a fallen prince rising from the shadows begin to spread. Rome will tremble when Lucius returns-not as a desperate survivor, but as a force of reckoning.

The throne was stolen. The empire corrupted. But the blood of emperors still flows in his veins. And he will stop at nothing to reclaim what is rightfully his.Todos los derechos reservados

Path to Power de BKDaniels

In the glittering halls of sixth-century Constantinople, an ancient temple burns - and with it, a dark prophecy is set in motion. Justinian, nephew to the aging Emperor Justin, finds himself thrust into a deadly game of power where noble blood means everything and his common birth marks him for destruction. At his side stands Theodora, a former actress whose wit and beauty make her as many enemies as allies. Together, they must navigate a court where every smile hides treachery and every friend could be an assassin. As shadowy forces gather against them, Justinian builds an unlikely alliance: Belisarius, a brilliant young general from the empire's savage frontier; John of Cappadocia, whose brutal efficiency keeps the empire running; and Magnus Aurelius, an ancient noble whose measured counsel masks unknown ambitions. But in the dark forests beyond Constantinople's walls, an otherworldly power stirs. The Shadow Master's warning echoes through time: "That which is sanctified, once desecrated, demands its price in full." Path to Power begins an epic saga of ambition, love, and betrayal, where the fate of an empire hangs on the choices of those who would rule it - and the price they're willing to pay for power.

The Life of Flavius Belisarius. de ShoGunKenji_246

The Roman Empire is a fading echo of its former glory, its western provinces lost to barbarian kings. But in the east, one man's military genius burns bright. He is Flavius Belisarius, the last of the great Roman generals, a man whose breathtaking conquests in Africa and Italy will shake the world. Yet as his victories mount, so does the jealousy of his emperor, Justinian. Caught between unwavering loyalty and the venomous intrigue of the court, Belisarius will discover that the battlefield is a far safer place than the halls of power. This is the story of an empire's final gasp of glory, and of the honorable man whose triumphs ultimately sealed his tragic fate. In the opulent, seething court of 6th-century Constantinople, loyalty is a dangerous currency. General Belisarius, an honorable soldier of humble beginnings, finds his military success both a blessing and a curse. While he fights to reclaim the lost territories of the Roman Empire, he is constantly navigating the political traps set by his emperor, Justinian, and the powerful empress, Theodora. His one constant is his captivating but reckless wife, Antonina, whose own indiscretions threaten to unravel their lives. As Belisarius battles enemies abroad and traitors at home, he learns that courage on the battlefield is no match for the subtle cruelties of his masters.

The Aegis Vow: Sovereign Arbiter de WarhammerEnthusiast

He was the only son of the Emperor who dared to call the Imperium a failure. Primarch Valerius was lost to the annals of history, a forgotten relic of the Great Crusade. Unlike his zealous brothers, Valerius was not ruled by faith or fury, but by one absolute law: The Doctrine of Necessary Utility. When the Sovereign Arbiter of Humanity's Survival returns, he finds the Imperium crippled by superstition, bureaucracy, and a war fought with obsolete doctrine. The revered Codex Astartes is merely a roadmap to failure, and the High Lords are worse than any Xenos threat. Valerius refuses to lead a rebellion. Instead, he begins a surgical, systematic crusade to prove that the only path to survival is absolute, ruthless efficiency. He builds the Aegis Imperium, unites the fragmented Space Marine Chapters under his cold, logical command, and forces Roboute Guilliman to yield to a new form of governance. His purpose is singular, and his final vow is the most dangerous of all: to gather forbidden relics, breach Holy Terra, and attempt the impossible-to restore his broken father on the Golden Throne. A Primarch's logic will either save humanity or shatter it forever. Experience the saga of the Primarch who broke every rule of the 41st Millennium to fulfill the Final Vow.

'𝔔𝔲𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔬 𝔱𝔲 𝔊𝔞𝔦𝔲𝔰, 𝔢𝔤𝔬 𝔊𝔞𝔦𝔞.' He could have had any woman in Rome, but he wanted her. Claudia Julia Venustus; following her father's footsteps into politics. She thought herself virtuous, loyal, in love with her childhood best-friend. But Commodus saw through all that. He saw what she really was: a mirror. Now, drawn into the bloodstained heart of the Empire, Claudia must navigate a court ruled by lust, paranoia, and spectacle. Caught between the man who won her heart and the man who stole it, she begins to question the morals her father always taught her. The tighter Commodus holds her, the looser her grip on reality becomes.

The Emperor's Heart (Commodus) de vagjde

The torches in the imperial palace flickered as Emperor Commodus paced the marble floor of his private chambers. Outside, Rome slumbered, but his mind was restless. Power meant nothing when he could not control the one thing that truly unsettled him-Valeria. Valeria Aemilia was no mere courtier. She was a senator's daughter, raised in the hallowed halls of the Curia, a woman of sharp wit and even sharper ambition. Unlike the sycophants who flattered him, she spoke her mind without fear. And perhaps that was why Commodus could not stay away.

REDBOURNE de Gumballthanos8

"I think, therefore I am. Nothing will stop me in my tracks. I will be the best... and prove that I am not strong just because of my blood, but because of who I am. My sword shall draw the names of my enemies in their own blood. The stadiums I saw built as a kid, will all rise up for me. One day, the Agaphian flag will honor me, not because I am the son of their legend, but rather a legend of my own." ================= Godseeker Artorius, the legendary war hero of the Agaphian federation, sought the sacred city of Cinderyn beyond the treacherous, blizzarding Silverstone Heights of Paterium. When he lost his life in that expedition, his son, Lucius seeks to succeed his late father in this arduous quest. He himself claims he feels nothing, struggling to understand emotions, apart from his unwavering resolve to seek strength and prestige that would surpass his father. Driven solely by ego, he believe he will be the best, therefore he truly will be. Yet that resolve was never invincible... A collective organization of bandits terrorizes Paterium, stealing not only bountiful harvests and carriages of gold, but lives of the people within this land. It is a golden opportunity to become a warrior like his father, but also the hero his father never was, and free himself from the bondage of the past. [[2025 - Ongoing]] [[FULLY ILLUSTRATED WITH COMICS]]
