Season 5: Episode 3 – The Silence in the Cells

Anturia Diaries: Prequel Stories

Legate Caius Regillus has endured battles, witnessed death, and commanded thousands of soldiers. But nothing in his years of service to Rome prepared him for Bolat Latto.

Separated from his legion and imprisoned beneath Staranthea, Caius must rely on the discipline that has defined his entire life. Every sound beyond his cell offers another fragment of information, another possibility to consider, and another reminder of how little control he has left.

He knows how to face an enemy on the battlefield. But how does a commander fight when he cannot see the enemy, protect those around him, or even know who remains alive? When the screams finally stop, the silence may be the most terrifying sound of all.
