Corvus Galvus is an iron son of the Galactic Roman Empire. Rome withers, its glorious past drowned in modern complacency. The supremacy of the Empire is threatened by the burgeoning forces of the Caliphate, Dynasty, and the ever-persistent Norse of the Northern Conclave. Corvus must restore the honor of his House by venturing to the Roman Academy, where darkness threatens to extinguish the light of his soul. There, Corvus will face intrigue, competition, and a burning hatred as he trains to become the leader Rome needs to pull itself from its encroaching mediocrity.
