The year is 269 AD and the once proud Roman Empire is a shadow of its former self.
It will take a man with iron in his veins to set things right and accomplish the impossible.
From a humble upbringing, a boy emerges who is destined to change history.
This is the story of Lucius Domitius Aurelianus.
Part XIV: Imperator
With the Goths reeling from the crushing defeat suffered at the hands of the iron legions, the portents indicate that Claudius Gothicus is the one destined to turn the tide in favour of the crumbling Empire.
Knowing that the armies of Rome are engaged with the invaders, the cunning war-witch of the Alemanni seizes the opportunity and leads the clans across the Danube. The Germani overrun the border fortifications and cut a bloody path through Raetia. Motivated by the prophecies of their oracles, the savages pour through the Alpine passes, intent on claiming the ultimate prize to ravage the Eternal City.
Emboldened by the barbarians' success, more hostile tribes begin to stir. Soon rumours of invasions abound. But obscured by the fog of war, another peril lurks silent and unseen, within striking distance of the jugular.
Events take a turn for the worse.
Is it a sign that the gods have abandoned Rome in its hour of need? Or could it be that the three sisters toiling at the spindle of fate are weaving the destiny of a man, a warrior prince the likes of which the world has never seen before.
