How to Get Away With Murder Without Even Trying is a work of fiction. Any similarities with any real person, living or dead, is coincidental to the extent required by law.

In Rome, the construction of Destiny Tower, the tallest building ever, is nearly finished, and the world’s richest and most powerful people are assembling to celebrate the tower’s completion and plan the future of humanity from within the comfort of their newest great monument to themselves. At the same time the elites of the world begin to gather at Destiny Tower, a mysterious organization of armed rebels calling themselves ‘Ver Sacrum’ appears around the globe, spreading its message that ‘the slaves of the world’ will soon be set free. Unbeknownst to either side, the appearance of Ver Sacrum is the fulfillment of a prophecy from the time of Augustus Caesar, one that foretells the return of Augustus’ populist rivals to power and the end of ‘two thousand years of tyranny.’
