In an empire forged by blood and strategy, Constantine is reborn—a mind from another world in the body of Rome’s most ruthless emperor. Haunted by ancient secrets and armed with knowledge centuries ahead of his time, he will stop at nothing to remake the world in his image.

From the burning streets of Rome to the rising towers of Constantinople, Constantine’s ambitions grow with every conquest: new machines thunder to life, old gods stir beneath the stones, and magic awakens in the shadows. Enemies plot, lovers tempt, and empires rise and fall as the rules of reality itself begin to change.

In a world where one man dares to rewrite fate, who will rule when dawn breaks over a new Rome?

The brittle accord forged in 316 had eroded to dust. By the first blossom of 324 AD, Constantine's answer to Licinius's latest provocations gathered outside Thessalonica: a moving city of one-hundred-and-twenty-thousand soldiers, sixty thousand animals, and enough wagons to choke every road from Gaul to Thrace. The emperor rode its avenues of mud and charcoal like a one-eyed god surveying a creation shaped to his will. He noted every slack shield strap, every limp standard, every cart bogged to the axle, and issued corrections with a clipped word or a glacial stare. Officers felt the judgement and hurried to match the impossible bar he set; enlisted men whispered that the August One could see through leather, iron, and excuses alike.
