Pax Machina Trilogy: Book I: The March Scar

By Eduardo Kwiatkowski

Rome, 44 BC. Gaius Julius Caesar, dictator for life, conqueror of Gaul, master of the known world, walks into the Senate on the Ides of March. He will not walk out.
But he will not be carried out dead, either.
When Casca's first blow misses and Mark Antony bursts in with the guard, Caesar is left suspended between life and death. Through months of convalescence, the most powerful man in the world experiences something he has never known: absolute helplessness. And in that silence, he reads. He thinks. He remembers Brutus's eyes among the conspirators. He understands that an empire held up by the sword alone dies the moment the sword breaks.
The Scar of March is the story of a transformation: from the arrogant general who enters the Senate expecting adulation, to the wounded statesman who understands that immortality lies not in conquest but in institutions. From the Rome of the legions to the Rome of ideas.
But ideas have enemies. The Senate sees its power threatened. The generals see their purpose questioned. The priests see their gods explained. And in the shadows, the conspirators who failed once are waiting for a second chance.
Caesar has fifteen years to change the world before his body - never fully healed - finally betrays him. It is not enough time. It will have to be.
