88 B.C.E.
Two giants fight for Rome. One soldier must choose between them.The Roman Republic stands on the brink of collapse. Gaius Marius, its greatest living hero, and Lucius Cornelius Sulla, ruthless champion of the Senate, both claim the right to command its future.
Caught between these warring titans is Caro, a battle-scarred mercenary captain bound by loyalty and friendship to the brilliant, uncompromising officer Quintus Sertorius.
As factions clash in the streets and blood stains Rome’s marble, Caro and Sertorius are forced to choose where they stand and what they are willing to become. Meanwhile rumours spread of the unthinkable: a Roman army marching not against a foreign enemy, but on its own capital.
The Shattered City plunges readers into the Roman Republic’s first great civil war. It's a world of ambition, violence, and broken oaths, where loyalty is a weapon and survival sometimes demands betrayal. Rome will never be the same.
