Overview: Rome, 88 BC. One man will break the Republic to save it.
When Lucius Cornelius Sulla marches his legions against Rome – the first Roman general ever to turn his army on the city – he needs more than soldiers. He needs a witness. On the slave market in Capua he finds Epicadus, a Greek freedman with a sharp mind and a sharper pen, and charges him with a single task: write everything down.
What follows is a decade of war, exile, and absolute power. From the siege of Athens to the blood-soaked plains of Chaeronea, from the killing fields of the Colline Gate to the proscription lists that turned Rome into a city of silence, Epicadus records it all – the battles Sulla won, the men he destroyed, the woman he loved and could not save. But as the bodies pile up and the lists grow longer, Epicadus begins writing a second book. Not Sulla’s version. The truth.
Fortune’s Sword is the story of the most dangerous man in Roman history – a brilliant general, a ruthless dictator, and the only man who ever seized absolute power and gave it back. It is the story of the freedman who stood beside him, saw everything, and had to decide: how much truth can one man write before the truth kills him?
