The fabric of reality is thinner than Rome believes. Whispers on the wind speak of grotesque figures clawing their way through the tattered Veil, their monstrous gaze set upon the Empire's gleaming heart.

Yet, the true threat lies not just beyond the borders, but within Rome itself. Cassius Longinus, a senator haunted by the Empire's fading might, becomes entangled in the machinations of the secretive Knights Templar.

They offer him a monstrous gift – a potion that rewinds the sands of time, promising a return to youthful vigor and the chance to restore Rome to its former glory. Armed with unnatural power, Cassius descends into a shadow war unseen by ordinary citizens.

He battles horrors that defy comprehension, his victories leaving a stain upon his soul. The lines blur: is he Rome's savior, or the architect of a monstrous future forged in blood and sacrifice? With each impossible choice, each desperate bargain, Cassius walks a perilous path where the fate of the Eternal City hangs by a fraying thread.

Can he defy the inevitable fall of empires, or will his monstrous gifts become the instrument of Rome's ultimate destruction?. .
