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

Having received the surrender of the young Emperor Theodosius II. Marcellus entered the palace of Constantinople, where he came across three young girls. A fierce look appeared on the face of an adorable young girl who was no older than twelve. Marcellus knew this girl to be Aelia Pulcheria. Behind her were her sisters, Aelia Flaccilla and Aelia Arcadia.

Though he had a kind and gentle expression on his handsome face, Pulcheria appeared to be enraged about his very appearance within her household. She quickly called him a couple of names, which he honestly wondered if she even knew the meaning.

"Heathen! Fornicator! You shall step no further into my father's household!"

The look on Marcellus' face was one of surprise. Though he may technically be an enemy of her little brother, he had no animosity towards him or his three sisters. Instead, Marcellus slowly approached the girls, with his arms spread out, signalling that he was no threat.
