Das Jahr 26 n. Chr.: Der 16-jährige Vespasian verlässt Familie und Hof in Richtung Rom. Er will einen Schutzherrn suchen und sich der Armee anschließen. Doch Rom ist in der eisernen Gewalt von Sejanus, Kommandeur der Prätorianergarde. Seine Spione sind überall. Jedes falsch gesprochene Wort kommt einem Todesurteil gleich. Vespasian flieht aus der Stadt: Blutjung und unerfahren nimmt er einen Posten als Tribun an der Grenze zum Balkan an. Rebellion liegt in der Luft - und Vespasian begreift, dass es vor dem Machtringen in Rom kein Entkommen gibt.

Alexander the Great's sudden and unexpected death has left the largest, most formidable empire the world has ever seen leaderless. As the fight to take control descends into ruthless scheming and bloody battles, no one is safe. As wars on land and sea are lost and won, and promises are made only to be broken, long-buried secrets come to light in the quest for the true circumstances surrounding Alexander's death.

Babylon, 323 BC: Alexander the Great is dead, leaving behind him the largest empire the world has ever seen. As his final breaths fade in a room of seven bodyguards, Alexander refuses to name a successor. But without a natural heir, who will take the reins? As the news of the king's death ripples across the land, leaving all in disbelief, the ruthless battle for the throne begins. What follows is a tangled web of scheming and plotting, with alliances quickly made and easily broken, each rival with their own agenda.

From the shattered empire, five kingdoms are emerging. Seleukos, triumphant in the capture of Babylon, now faces the challenge of holding onto his hard-won prize. One-eyed Antigonos and his son are newly reconciled and both hungry for revenge. But Antigonos has foes of his own. Driven by vengeance, widowed Artonis sides with Ptolemy, planning to thwart the one-eyed brute. The key to their success is Herakles, the sixteen-year-old illegitimate son of Alexander. To see him crowned, they will not only need an army but also to eliminate Kassandros, a powerful rival.
