In 48 B.C., having survived a disastrous campaign in Pythia
as part of the Forgotten Legion and spent years fighting
their way back to Rome, Romulus and Tarquinius have finally
made it as far as Alexandria. On arrival, though, they find
themselves in the midst of the Roman Civil War, are
press-ganged into Caesar’s thinning legions and greatly
outnumbered and fighting for their lives against the
Egyptian army. Meanwhile in Rome, Romulus’ twin sister
Fabiola, having caught only a glimpse of her long-missing
twin before being forced to flee Egypt for Rome, lives in
fear for her life, loved by Brutus, but wooed by Marcus
Antonius, his deadly enemy. From the battlefields of Asia
Minor and North Africa, to the lawless streets of Rome and
the gladiator arena, they all face death and danger daily,
until 44 B.C. when their individual roads all lead them to
Rome where the future of the republic lies unexpectedly in
their hands.
