The story of Romulus and his twin brother Remus, in eighth century B.C. as seen through the eyes of three people marked by death, loneliness and violence.
Yemos and Enitos are the successors to the throne of Alba. The slave Wiros is in the woods for an initiation rite while the vestal Ilia keeps a great secret.
Yemos, in the woods among the Luperci, meets the slave Wiros for the first time. Meanwhile, Ilia forever changes her fate as Ertas, king of Gabi, discovers Amulius' lies.
Ilia goes to the priest of Mars. Meanwhile, Wiros lies to his companions but fears of being discovered and asks for the help of Yemos, the only one who can save him.
Yemos and Wiros proceed into the woods to reach the city of Gabi. Numitor and Silvia are greeted by Ertas. Meanwhile, Ilia continues her hard training.
Wiros and Yemos fight side by side for the first time with the mistress of Wolves. Spurius sets fire to the forest to find them. Meanwhile, Amulius returns to Alba.
A group of Ruminales, including Yemos and the She-wolf, fall into Spurius's trap. Meanwhile, Wiros meets Silvia and Numitor in the lands of the Greek potter.
Yemos and Wiros arrive at the gates of Alba. Ilia finally learns the truth about Enitos and confronts her father. Meanwhile, a serious dilemma afflicts Yemos.
Tito advances. The Ruminales attack a Sabine garrison and as all seems lost, a contingent led by Wiros, charges. Yemos is wounded and the priestess Ersilia proposes to take him to the Tusci.
Yemos is dying and Ersilia takes Wiros to the village where she grew up to be treated; Titos is furious with Servios and the others who have retreated into the woods.
Wiros surrenders to the Sabines and cedes the city of Rome; a woman leaves a cloak on the shoulders of the chained ex-king which leaves Tito distraught.
