Synopsis "These Final Days (in English)"
The city-state of Byzangoria stands upon the precipice. Corruption, greed and indifference have crippled its once lauded democracy. Old bloodlines, once the absolute power in the city and beyond, rise to reclaim their birthright. The streets of the city are home to violence and despair, its people clinging only to the hope of their beloved Consul, Ezekiel Decius, a man as ruthless as he is ambitious. Beyond the great walls of Byzangoria, the wolves begin to howl. The tribes of the west have put aside their ancient grudges to face a common enemy. Under the guidance of the mysterious Tryarchs of Hrudonisa, devoted servants of a dark and bloody god, the tribes seek to tear the boot of their oppressor from their throats and drown the land in a river of blood. Amidst the chaos, come the Dozen. Twelve strangers, bearing incredible tales and dire warnings, they are desperate to stop history from repeating itself and to discover the truth of their origin. Chief amongst them, Augustus is a man worn down by the death, betrayal and despair of a dozen lifetimes, haunted by his own failure and the end of his world. Alongside his sworn blood-brother, Gaius, only an iron code of honour keeps Augustus on his chosen path. These Final Days is a sweeping tale of blood, honour and betrayal in a land ravaged by war and the power plays of ambitious men.
