In the shadow of Hannibal’s invasion, one Roman general rises. Stoic tells the epic story of Alex Aurelius, a principled leader torn between duty to Rome and the love of his family. As the Republic teeters on the brink of collapse in 216 B.C., Alex must navigate betrayal, political unrest, and the looming bloodbath at Cannae. With war on the horizon and everything he cherishes at stake, Aurelius must embody the very meaning of stoicism—or be consumed by the tides of history. A sweeping, character-driven saga of honor, sacrifice, and destiny in the ancient world.
