The year is AD 51, and legionaries Cato and Macro have forged an unbreakable bond, forged through the trials of war, rebellion, and even torture. However, nothing could have prepared them for the daunting mission that now lies before them - a perilous journey into the heart of Rome, where the city's very streets have become a deadly battlefield.

Treachery is rife, and the threat of plunging the Empire into bloody chaos looms large. The Emperor himself has entrusted Cato and Macro with a critical task: to work undercover and root out the traitors before Rome tears itself apart.
