Release: Late 2024

A Novel Threat. Government Mistrust. Conspiracy Theories. Rampant Misinformation.

Sound familiar? Not the Covid-19 pandemic—this is the decline of the Western Roman Empire.
Welcome to Mogontiacum and Augusta Treverorum, frontier towns facing an unprecedented crisis. As the city of Margus falls to the Scourge of God, all eyes turn to the corrupt Emperor Valentinian III and Flavius Aetius, the last true Roman. Under the leadership of their prefects Gabinius and Roburrus, the two towns follow different paths.
How will they survive? History seems to repeat itself.
