Why these tropes fit
Newly crowned Empress Claudia must protect her fragile rule against assassins, a hostile Senate, and scheming ancient deities in an alternate ancient Rome. Pressed into dangerous political alliances and an unwanted marriage, she hides both her doubts about her authority and her forbidden love for her fiercely loyal bodyguard Gia. As rival claimants rise and divine war looms, Claudia is forced to choose between authenticity and power, love and survival, with every decision tightening the trap around her.
