Kingdoms will rise and fall, I've come to take it all. History has always been written by the victors. With more blood on his hands and bodies than he can keep track of, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus, known more commonly as Octavian, has just ordered Caesarion killed. After the Battle of Alexandria and the supposed suicide of his rival and brother-in-law Marcus Antonius, Octavian is not that surprised to find Queen Cleopatra deceased from poison. What he didn't expect, however, was the Egyptians bowing to him in respect. With Cleopatra and her son Caesarion dead, Octavian is the only contender left for the Egyptian throne. Having rescued Marcus Antonius from the brink of death, the thirty-three year old usurper faces his weakened rival a changed man. The name Augustus would never be given as a title to Octavian, nor would it be murmured by the Roman Senate. The Egyptians call him Kaisaros and treat him like a God-King. With the Egyptian fleet and army at his back, Octavian builds his kingdom as the first Roman Pharaoh. He plays the part, replacing his toga for animal prints, trading away his laurel wreath for jewelry and kohl. Then he is gifted three strange eggs that feel warm to him, but no one else. Once he gets the eggs to hatch, history will paint him as a more renowned figure than Alexander the Great.
