In a captivating alternate reality where the Roman Empire never fell, Sophia McDougall weaves a tale that explores the complexities of a world shaped by unyielding imperial might. This society, stretching from India in the East to the far reaches of the Great Wall of Britain in the West, is marked by its unique political landscape and social dynamics. With a richly drawn setting, McDougall invites readers to immerse themselves in a narrative filled with intrigue, ambition, and the stark realities of life under empire.
