The great city is in chaos. Julius Caesar, the emperor, has been murdered. The evidence points to the father of the great soldier Agrippa. But the evidence, like so much in Rome, is not what it seems. To save his father, Agrippa must conquer the bloody gladiatorial arenas. While he fights, Agrippa's friend Octavianus tries to uncover who is really behind Caesar's death using stealth and intellect. Two different stories, one epic tale, set in the Shadow of Rome
As Agrippa, fight to the death in gladiatorial combat. Use swords, bows, even severed limbs, the more brutal you are, the more the crowd will help you. Race chariots in the fastest, most fatal sport in ancient history.
As Octavianus, sneak through the senate gathering clues, solving puzzles and donning disguises. The fate of Rome rests on you not getting caught.
