A Celebration Turns Deadly, But This Murder Could Bring Rome To Its Knees…

The year is 176 AD. Emperor Marcus Aurelius has returned to Rome, victorious from the front lines, to host a grand celebration in honour of his daughter Lucilla’s birthday—and to finalize a political marriage between his son, Commodus, and noblewoman Drusa Clovius.

But when Drusa is found murdered before the engagement is made official, the joyous occasion turns into chaos.

Now, whispers of conspiracy echo through the halls of the Imperial Palace. With tensions between rival houses already high, one more spark could ignite a civil war Rome cannot afford.

Was Drusa’s death a personal vendetta, a political move, or something far darker? The suspects include senators, soldiers, servants, and nobles alike—and they’re all willing to lie to protect their place in history.
