Alexander and his growing legion have managed to escape Nova Roma and, more importantly, learned that the rest of the world may not be as ravaged and destroyed as they had all thought!
Join them as they set sail for ancient Venice, the Queen of the Adriatic, to try to learn more about the wider world outside Nova Roma. Along the way, they'll encounter a growing plague of deadly pirates in the Adriatic, deceitful old merchant families out to quash any new competitors in the region, mysterious new allies, and much more.
Just as Alexander is starting to feel hope for humanity once again, something happens to tear him away from everyone and everything he has come to care about. Lost, shackled, and without the majority of his skills, Alexander will be forced to confront a new side of himself, a darker, more violent side that threatens to take control of his mind and the new powers he has managed to unlock for himself.
If he can't manage to resist the growing corruption of his mind, he may not just be a danger to himself and those he cares about, but may become a danger to the very world itself.

Read full series description
The series begins with a captivating premise: a portal opens, offering a rare chance to step into the grandeur of Nova Roma, an alternate version of ancient Rome where history is not written in stone, and the gods are very much alive. Here, the protagonist must grapple with the harsh realities of a civilization at its peak, yet filled with its own internal struggles, political intrigue, and divine meddling. The deeper the characters venture into this ancient world, the more they uncover about their own place in history—and the more they learn that time is both a friend and a ruthless adversary.
In Portal to Nova Roma, the world-building is nothing short of immersive. Readers are pulled into a vividly reconstructed Roman society, where gods walk among mortals, and the line between myth and reality blurs. The mix of historical richness and speculative elements creates an atmosphere that is both epic and intimate, full of political machinations and divine interventions that shift the balance of power in unexpected ways. The character arcs are equally compelling, as they navigate the treacherous world of gods, soldiers, and schemers, all while facing choices that could alter the course of history itself.
As the series progresses, the stakes grow higher. The protagonist’s journey becomes less about survival and more about understanding the complex web of fate that ties their own existence to the ancient world’s fate. Themes of power, identity, and morality weave through every page, challenging both the characters and readers to consider the true meaning of destiny.
For readers who crave a blend of historical adventure and speculative fiction, Portal to Nova Roma offers a fresh take on time travel, where the past is not just a place to visit—it’s a world to change. Each book is an exploration of what happens when myth, history, and fate collide, and it leaves readers questioning the limits of time itself. Will the characters succeed in shaping their own destinies, or will they become mere pawns in the ancient game of gods? The answer lies just beyond the portal.
