The year is 407 AD and Rome is at the precipice. In the West, a usurper by the name of Flavius Claudius Constantinus has declared himself emperor. By doing this, he and his traitor legions have fractured the Western Roman Empire into two. At the same time, the north bleeds! Countless germans swarm across the borders of the Empire and pillage its lands in their ruthless raids. Alaric, King of the Goths, rises to a position of prominence and threatens the ancient capital of the dying Empire with his barbarian hordes. As if things weren't bad enough, rumors from the east state that a mysterious power rises within the fogs of war, threatening to drown the Empire in a river of blood.

As a response to these threats, the indolent emperor Honorius has given orders to his supreme commander Flavius Stilicho to reclaim the province of Gaul from the usurper. However, should he leave the heartland of the Empire undefended, undoubtedly Alaric would invade. Thus, under the threat of barbarians at the gates, Stilicho dispatches a young roman general by the name of Titus Claudius Marcellus to bring an end to the reign of the usurper. Will Rome fall to the tides of barbarians and traitors alike? Or can Marcellus restore a world collapsing around him? Find out in Heir of Aurelian!

Heir of Aurelian

Frank stood in the pews of a large cathedral. By his side were his mother and father, who were dressed in their most formal of attire. In the center of the building stood his sister, Maria, who wore a revealing white wedding dress, and the man she had fooled into marrying.

Yes, fooled was the word that Frank had used in his own mind to describe the scenario. Why was that? Because, like most modern women, she had deliberately lied about her past, specifically her previous occupation, and her body count in order to attract a higher value male. The man she was marrying was named Don Ferarri, which instantly made Frank feel as if the man was a douchebag.

However, he was an accomplished dentist in the New York area, and made quite a significant income. He was also decently handsome, and because of that, Maria had done everything she could to hide her scandalous past in order to marry this man.
