LAIA IS A SLAVE. ELIAS IS A SOLDIER. NO ONE IS FREE.

Under the regime of the Martial Empire, death is the inevitable fate for those who dare to disobey the rules. Those who do not dedicate their body and soul to the Emperor risk sending their loved ones to the firing squad and seeing everything they cherish destroyed.

In this violent world, inspired by ancient Rome, Laia lives with her grandparents and her older brother. The family lives in poverty, without provoking the Empire. They know well what happens to those who do.

But when Laia's brother is arrested for treason, the girl is forced to make a decision. In exchange for his life, she will help the rebels by acting as their spy in the Empire's greatest military academy.

There she will meet Elias, the school's best trainee - and, secretly, the most reluctant. All Elias wants is to be free from the cruelty and tyranny for which he is being trained. The two young people will soon realize that their fates are intertwined and that their choices will forever change the fate of the Empire.
