In an empire forged by blood and strategy, Constantine is reborn—a mind from another world in the body of Rome’s most ruthless emperor. Haunted by ancient secrets and armed with knowledge centuries ahead of his time, he will stop at nothing to remake the world in his image.

From the burning streets of Rome to the rising towers of Constantinople, Constantine’s ambitions grow with every conquest: new machines thunder to life, old gods stir beneath the stones, and magic awakens in the shadows. Enemies plot, lovers tempt, and empires rise and fall as the rules of reality itself begin to change.

In a world where one man dares to rewrite fate, who will rule when dawn breaks over a new Rome?

The news of Galerius's death reached Trier beneath a sky the color of tarnished coin, carried by a courier who had ridden without pause since dawn. His horse collapsed at the palace gate, lungs heaving, foam spattering the flagstones. There were no public cheers, no sacrifices of thanksgiving in the temples. Instead, shutters clattered shut along the market streets and magistrates retreated indoors to calculate what fresh storms the passing of the Senior Augustus might unleash. Constantine accepted the sealed scrolls in the imperial map room, alone except for the faint, metallic tick of a clockwork water-timer and the soft shifting of parchment under his hand. Death, in this place, was not spectacle. It was the subtraction of a single counter, a vacancy that called for new moves.
