The Roman Empire never fell. Now it rules the stars.

A thousand years ago, Marcus Antonius marched on Rome with weapons no soldier had ever seen — muskets, cannons, gunpowder gifted by the gods themselves. He killed Octavian, crucified the Senate, and built an empire that would conquer the galaxy.

Now the truth about those gods is about to surface.

Kaeso Aemilius was once Umbra Corps — Libertus' deadliest spy. Now he runs a freighter on the edge of known space with a crew of exiles: a Legion deserter, two escaped slaves, a banished senator, a heretical medicus. They want nothing to do with the Republic that broke them.

Then the Roman Consular Heir vanishes — a boy who shouldn't exist, born with abilities no Roman is supposed to have. Every power in the galaxy wants him: Roma to crown him, Libertus to use him, and something feared by both sides to silence him before he can speak.

Kaeso is the only man alive who can find the boy. He swore he would never play the game again.

He's going to do it anyway — because the conspiracy reaching for the Heir has been ruling Rome since before the Caesars, and it isn't done with humanity yet.
