Santiago Posteguillo

In 58 BC, Rome, Gaul, and Egypt were three separate worlds, unaware that they were all heading toward a shared destiny…

If I Am Rome revealed the origins of Julius Caesar, and Maldita Roma chronicled his political rise, now Caesar faces one of the greatest historical challenges of all time: the conquest of Gaul—a territory long hostile to Rome, vast and immense, and, in the eyes of Caesar’s enemies, an unconquerable land destined to become his grave.

With meticulous research and masterful pacing, we witness the suffering and epic drama of the Gallic Wars, while also following the fratricidal political struggle unfolding in Rome and journeying into exile with Pharaoh Ptolemy XII, expelled from Egypt alongside his young and legendary daughter, Cleopatra.

Gaul, Rome, and Egypt—a fateful collision of three legendary worlds, masterfully brought to life by Santiago Posteguillo in the thrilling conclusion to The Rise Trilogy, the first cycle in his epic series on Julius Caesar.
