Synopsis
Alexander and his growing army of soldiers and allies have fled Nova Roma, only to discover that the rest of the world may not be as ravaged by monsters as they had believed. Determined to learn more, they set sail for ancient Venice, the "Queen of the Adriatic." Join them as they learn more about the wider world outside Nova Roma. Along the way, they'll encounter a growing plague of deadly pirates, deceitful old merchant families, and mysterious new allies. Just as Alexander starts to believe that humanity may have a chance at survival, something happens to tear him away from everything he holds dear. Lost and alone, Alexander must confront a new side of himself, a darker, more violent side that threatens to take control of his mind and the new powers he has managed to craft for himself. If he can't resist the growing corruption within him, he may not just be a danger to himself and those he cares about, but may become a danger to the very world itself.
