IN ROME, YOUR LIFE DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU. IT BELONGS TO THE EMPIRE.

The Old Kingdoms have risen again after ages of war, this time with men made of metal at the helm. From the ashes of old Earth came the bionics, born of war and bearing power far beyond that of any mortal. They have their eyes on the stars and their feet planted firmly in the dirt of earth. Their power is consolidated into a delicate world of hard-won stability... for now.

"Tell me boy, how high can you rise?"

These are the words of Casmian's master that come to haunt him. As a mortal among near-immortals, surrounded by giants, he lugs around a rusty metal leg, victim to their every whim. But when one of the emperors is kidnapped and his master killed, Casmian must decide how far he is willing to go to protect his family. As unseen forces threaten the fragile peace and monsters from another age wreak havoc on Rome, it will all come down to a choice: to become what he hates most so he can save those he cares for or to be cast aside as the world around him crumbles once more into war.

IN ROME, YOUR FATE LIES AT THE END OF A BLADE.
