Marcus Cassianus, the quiet son of a powerful Roman senator, lives a life shaped by expectations, politics, and silence. But everything changes when he falls in love with Aelia — a slave girl his father plans to trade away for political favor. Caught between bloodline and heart, Marcus chooses a path almost no Roman son dares to walk. In a world where love is weakness and people are currency, he risks everything to save the girl Rome calls property. This is a story of forbidden love, moral courage, and the painful beauty of choosing what is right over what is safe. A story that reveals the human soul hidden beneath Roman marble.
