When Rome wept

In the heart of the Roman Empire, Lucius is a highly trained operative for the Shadow Order, a secretive cabal of spies and assassins who serve the empire's hidden power structures. Tasked with carrying out dangerous missions to maintain Rome's stability, Lucius has always been loyal to his cause-until a fateful order changes everything.

Lucius's latest mission seems straightforward: eliminate Julia, a fellow member of the Shadow Order and a long-time friend. The two have fought side by side for years, sharing countless secrets and a deep bond forged in blood. But when Lucius receives the order to kill Julia, something shifts within him. Torn between duty and his personal connection, Lucius finds himself at a crossroads, unable to reconcile his loyalty to the Shadow Order with his love and trust for Julia.
