Aureliano repudiates his wife after her conversion to Christianity. He chooses to stand on the other side: he follows Simmaco, in the last defense of the ancient gods. But he will not have time to fight his war. A prophecy seizes him by the throat: he must protect a child.
Because the prophecy is clear: that child will save Rome.
He is not just flesh. He is an enigma. He is destiny.
Pagan and Christian prophecies converge upon him. That is why everyone wants him. That is why he is in danger. And that is why Aureliano becomes a target.
Along his path: Adrianopoli, the defeat that shatters Roman pride. Stilicone, the last bulwark that collapses. An emperor who hangs himself out of shame. And finally the apocalypse: Rome, 410. The sack.
When a civilization dies, no slogans remain. Only impossible choices.
A dark, relentless historical novel, where the fall of the Empire is not a date but a fracture—and where the end of the Empire may also mark a rebirth.
