And Rome stands triumphant.In the wake of Cleopatra’s death, her heirs are paraded through the streets in chains forged from their mother’s own gold. Only young Selene survives, fueled by her mother’s quest for vengeance against Rome and its emperor, Augustus Caesar.As Augustus Caesar moves to cement his rule, launching a brutal campaign in the mountains of northern Spain, Selene has been unwillingly married off to Juba of Numidia — the very man Caesar needs to win his campaign.Beneath the banners and bloodshed lies the secret struggle for the Trident of Poseidon, a relic of immense power, capable of reshaping the fate of nations. A weapon that Juba holds the ability to wield.Drawn into this celestial war, Selene and Juba find themselves torn between their own ambitions and the pull of something neither expected — each other. The choices they make may change the very fabric of the known world.
