Synopsis

Senator Tiberius rose to power believing peace could be engineered — even if it required deception.

The Phoenix Imperium barely survived its last Great War, and under President Ricardus, Britannica’s revered patriarch, stability has returned. To preserve it, Tiberius binds himself to the heart of the Senate. Prepared to lie, manipulate, and betray in the name of order.

But something in Britannica’s capital is wrong.

Senators begin to change, developing strange twitches. Familiar faces seem… rehearsed. One by one, men of influence behave like strangers wearing borrowed flesh.

As whispers of unrest spread across the Empire’s provinces, Tiberius uncovers a darker truth: the decline is not accidental. It is deliberate. The Senate is being hollowed from within.

And if the force behind it is truly the antithesis of the One God, then the coming war will not be fought for territory — but for the ascension of mankind.
