Enter the abyss of the Mamertine Prison.
From there, no one leaves alive.
September, 46 BC.
Rome erupts in its greatest triumph. Gaius Julius Caesar marches through the city, celebrated like a god. Behind him, chained like a beast, walks Vercingetorix — the man who dared to unite Gaul against Rome.
When the roar of the crowd fades, only darkness remains.
For nearly six years, the defeated Gallic leader has been buried deep beneath the city, in the bowels of the Mamertine Prison — a place without time, without light, without hope. The antechamber of death. Watching over him is a single man: Publius Sextius Baculus, a Roman centurion. A soldier. An enemy. A jailer.
Within those damp stone walls, where the world ceases to exist, prisoner and guard are forced to share silence, solitude, and memory. War returns through their words; battles are fought again through recollection; past choices demand their reckoning. Slowly, what once divided them begins to crumble. Because when only darkness and the wait for death remain, there are no victors and no vanquished — only men.
As Caesar’s triumph reaches its climax, both understand that everything they have lived has led to this moment, and that the value of a bond forged in the fire of war may prove greater than life itself.
The Prisoner of Caesar is not a novel about glory.
It is a novel about endurance. About defeat. About honor that survives even when everything is lost.
A descent into the abyss of the human soul, where learning how to live and learning how to die become one and the same.
