Throughout the Western world, great kingdoms have fallen
and despots lay crushed beneath the heels of Rome's
advancing legions. But in this age of magnificent triumph
and barbaric cruelty, internal rebellion threatens the
stability and survival of the mighty Republic. And an aging,
ailing Gaius Marius, heralded 'conqueror of Germany and
Numidia, longs for that which was prophesied many years
before: an unprecedented seventh consulship of Rome. It is a
prize to be won only through treachery and with blood,
pitting Marius against a new generation of assassins,
powerseekers and Senate intriguers -- and setting him at
odds with the ambitious, tormented Lucius Cornelius Sulla,
once Marius's most trusted right-hand man, now his most
dangerous rival.
