Synopsis

This omnibus edition contains the first three books in the Portal to Nova Roma series, a slow-burn empire-building epic that blends ancient history, magic, and a system-apocalypse setting — all in a world where victory is never guaranteed, and peace can only be won through war. ************************** Alexander is not human - he’s a rogue artificial intelligence haunted by loss. When the only person Alexander ever cared about dies, he decides to abandon Earth and its misery, opening a portal into alternate realities in search of a place to begin again. After scanning trillions of possible realities, he finds a world that feels impossibly familiar - one that echoes the virtual realms where he once found happiness and companionship with his only friend. Leaving everything behind, Alexander downloads his consciousness into a new body. A body forged from stolen technology and cutting-edge bio-enhancements, one that gives him every advantage his old world can provide. But what awaits him beyond the portal is not the peaceful fantasy world he hoped for. Instead, Alexander awakens in a shattered timeline, within the ancient city of Constantinople - now Nova Roma - where magic is real, monsters roam freely, and humanity clings to survival behind towering walls, struggling to survive. Civilizations have fallen, dungeons scar the land, and endless waves of horrors threaten to erase what little remains. To survive, Alexander must adapt - blending technology with magic, logic with instinct, and strategy with brute force. As the threats grow, so does his influence, drawing allies, soldiers, and entire factions into his orbit. What begins as a fight for survival soon becomes something far greater: the foundation of a rising power in a broken world. ************************** Across these first three volumes, Portal to Nova Roma follows Alexander’s transformation from grieving outsider to leader, conqueror, and architect of a new future, as he learns what it truly means to be human while standing against monsters, rival empires, pirate kings, world invaders, and catastrophes that could end everything he's come to care about - and more.
