He is a man in command of his destiny, who wields enormous power throughout the vast empire. However his god-given mission to end the blood-splattered fratricidal wars, reconcile implacably hostile factions and preserve Roman civilization and world order is teetering dangerously close to collapse His power is draining away. None of his supporters can stop the inexorably evolving plot against him and prophecy will explode into truth on the Ides of March and the world will change forever. This is political thriller laced through with all the intrigue and action surrounding one of the most crucial turning points in the history of western civilization.
