The Emperor Time Forgot

The Roman Legion is starving. One man found the fire of the gods in a forest clearing - and used it to save his brothers.Legionnaire Marcus Aelius Varro never wanted to be a god. He wanted his men fed and his frontier held. But the alien weapon he stole from a buried starship doesn't care what he wanted - it turns him into a legend, and Rome's desperate Senate crowns him Emperor before he can say no.Now the ship has come back for what's his. Its crew has seen the future his theft is building - centuries of war, false gods, and a civilization bent around a fire that was never meant to be found. To save it, Marcus must give up the throne, the power, and the memory of everything he became.He'll do it. But he'll be the only man left who remembers it ever happened.A soldier. A stolen weapon. An empire built on a lie only he can undo.
