Description

Rome 549 AD. A desperate bid for survival forces merchant Nicander and legionary Marius to flee the city, seeking refuge in Constantinople. There, they concoct a series of audacious schemes to make their fortune. Their plan takes an unexpected turn when they set their sights on stealing precious silk seeds from the distant land of Seres. To execute this daring heist, Nicander and Marius must deceive the powerful ruler Justinian and navigate the treacherous world of the Byzantine Empire. As they embark on a perilous journey across unknown realms, danger lurks around every corner. With nothing in the Roman Empire as it seems, their adventure becomes a heart-pounding tale of mischief and deception.
