Pray all you like, you cannot command the Gods.

In the ancient city of Arcadia, democracy has collapsed. A dictator rules by force, a rebel army rises against him, and a divided senate wavers between the two. 

As civil war erupts, three lives are drawn into the struggle:

On the frontier the ambitious young noblewoman Lucia ‘Lilith’ Fabiana desperately tries to unite her province. When barbarians invade, Lilith seizes her chance to govern — only to learn that her father’s army has been destroyed and he has been captured. 

In the frozen north Primus Seneca, the only son of the legendary general Marcus Seneca, has been drafted into his father’s army. Tested as much by his brutal comrades as the savage cold, he burns to prove himself a soldier worthy of his father’s name.

In the capital Mathis Caelo, the dictator’s ruthless henchman, has grown tired of his master’s yoke and sets out to seize power for himself. 

Lilith, Primus, and Mathis soon find themselves fighting for their lives in a world where distant gods stir in the wild and nature itself can rise against the empire.

Based on the popular novellas Legionnaire and Protégée, May You Dream Treason depicts ancient Rome as its inhabitants knew it: an intoxicating and volatile world filled with splendor and majesty, forged by unstable politics and gods who care little for mankind.
