The greatest city of the ancient world stands on the brink of destruction. As Troy burns beneath the weight of Greek deception, one man is called to carry its legacy beyond the ashes. Guided by the gods, Aeneas abandons the only home he has ever known and begins a journey that will shape the destiny of civilizations yet unborn.
Drawing from Virgil's Aeneid and the traditions preserved by later Roman historians, this opening chapter explores the legendary fall of Troy and the first steps toward the founding of Rome—not through the eyes of conquerors, but through those destined to survive.
