Set in the year 497, in an alternate world modeled on ancient Rome, from the fifth century BCE to the early third century BCE.
In Rome’s early days, the balance of power was unstable and political struggles raged. Everyone sought to establish a position of power in this newborn land, and all were drawn into the conflict.
Then a valiant general named Caesar Augustus emerged. With exceptional military skill and a cool head, he quickly made his mark on the world and single-handedly created the Roman Empire.
But as time passed, people gradually discovered another side to this world, and some began to uncover the vast presence of the “Old Ones” lurking behind it. They were far beyond the limits of human understanding...
This work is also known as Rome’s Age.
It is the first installment in the original three-part Journey Through the Heart series. Each volume differs in plot and narrative style, but the stories connect, and you can begin with any installment without affecting your understanding.
