As Rome Burns

In the veiled sanctums of timeless authority, where an Eternal War rages over the essence of human freedom and servitude, a clandestine Order forges unlikely warriors from the discarded heirs of ancient lineages. Enter Annabelle Morozov and Grand Duke Peter, keen-minded bastards navigating a grueling gauntlet of intellect and endurance, peeling back the facades of bureaucratic feudalism and its insidious web of perverse incentives that bind society in illusion. Mentored by seasoned guardians like the inscrutable Prince Dlamini, Baron Von Mises and the steadfast Earl of Rothbury, they delve into profound tenets of hidden knights, very old matriarchies, unyielding loyalty, and the boundless strategies of the infinite game—honing their for roles that may well upend the fragile balance of power.

Yet as subjective distortions warp truths into shackles, resilient matriarchs weave indissoluble bonds, a Slavic princess embarks on a perilous convergence with a shadowed future Tsar amid mist-shrouded perils, the conflict spirals toward a cataclysmic awakening. With the British Crown long ensnared by insidious overlords, veils of deceit begin to fray, empires teeter on the brink, allegiances fracture, and the citadels of authentic dominion—shaped by wise mothers and upheld by solemn vows of modern yet ancient knights—plunge into crimson machinations spanning rugged British Columbia, the Scottish moors, the towering minarets of Moscow and the world.

In As Rome Burns, the opening salvo of the Shouldering Giants saga, humanity's ancient sentinels confront the rot of falsehoods, restoring base reality, lest the Resentfuls devour all futures. A conflagration that will only intensify in As England Burns, the second novel, where deeper trials and unforeseen alliances await.
