Summary
He was the conqueror of 86 tribes, the Son of Mars, chosen by the gods to lead man out of the ashes of the Old World.
As the numbers swelled beneath the banners of the Legion, Caesar ordered the killing of his inner circle, men he could no longer trust, not with command, not with his old name or the true history he perverted.
Now he stands in the lengthening shadow of the Monster of the East, the Legate Lanius, who never read of Julius or Augustus in the old books, who never had any use for the written word at all. The Butcher's vision of the future is a grim hell he does not recognize, but Caesar has left no one alive that remembers another time.. or their original purpose.
Now his strength fails him and he needs an heir to restore the Legion's glory. The gods fail to grant him a child, and the sky burns with signs and portents. Fortuna gives her Wheel a spin, and only the Khan god Coyote knows where it lands. The remnants of the Enclave offer up an unlikely alliance, and the sibyl shrieks of the coming of the God of War, who walks the desert in the form of a First Recon man.
Only Vulpes Inculta is clever enough to find a way out, but the secrets he discovers could take a man's soul.
