''Sic Semper Tyrannis'' is a series of independently published books by Eli Solitas.
Four strangers in a turbulent climate are thrown into a cosmic plan far larger than themselves. A rebel soldier has just discovered that he lacks the ability to die. A wandering pariah in Patria watches as sickness spreads from the south. A wounded young apostle from the southwest sets off to a world they do not understand. A world-weary smuggler strikes out with a gun, a plan and the weight of the world on her shoulders.
They’ve all got secrets. Everybody is afraid these days. The world is changing. This will not end well. Trust is not easily obtained, and between the tyrannical rule of ancient dynasties, the sinister practices of postmodern cults and communes and a timeless class struggle that might tear the whole system apart, things are collapsing from the bottom up.
Little do these four strangers know, they are the first of many.
The books are divided into three [[MythArc cycles]]; the God Cycle, the War Cycle, and the Human Cycle. The books are currently in the middle of the God Cycle.
The God Cycle:
* ''Sic Semper Tyrannis: Passage'' was released in July 2020
* ''Sic Semper Tyrannis: Serendipity'' was released in September 2020
* ''Sic Semper Tyrannis: Oculus'' was released in October 2020

!!Sic Semper Tyrannis contains examples of:
* ActionGirl: Victory is a prime example of this.
* CodeName: For safety reasons, those on the Blue Road often use code names. These names are usually unconventional, i.e. Victory, Immortal, Baby, and it’s easy to tell when someone’s not using a code name.
* CrapsackWorld: The world is plagued with war and death. The authorities can't be trusted. On top of that, people have to deal with [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin horrors]] roaming the land.
* DudeNotFunny:
-->'''Siro''': They used to need somebody small to plant stuff in the vents. Like, dead animals, to make the whole place stink. And they used to think it was so funny I was from Haf, because of everything. So sometimes they'd shut off both ends of the vent until I, like, begged them to let me out.\\
'''Teigr''': That's - That's not funny.
* EyeMotifs: There are a lot:
** Oculus is the name of a god and its religion. It means "eye" in Latin. Oculan churches are decorated with eye shapes. Certain sects of Oculans have one of their eyes gouged out.
** In the physical books, the section breaks are a simple drawing of an eye. It’s implied to be the drawing Baby receives from an Oculan child in ''Passage.''
* GratuitousLatin: “Sic semper tyrannis” translates to “thus always to tyrants.” The phrase states that bad outcomes will eventually befall tyrants.
** The Latin meaning of "impetus" is "to rush upon/attack." Their siblings are also named after Latin words.
** Novus’ name translates to “new.” It can also mean young, inexperienced, or revived.
** Oculus, which means "eye" in Latin.
** The nation of Rubrum, which translates to "red" in Latin.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every book is a OneWordTitle.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Babs to Siro.
* MeaningfulName:
** Victory chose her name because she “wins a lot of fights.”
** Baby is named after his naïveté.
** [[ThemeNaming Impetus, Enutriet, Interitus, and Luo]] are named after Latin words. They roughly mean attack, destruction, nurture, and atone/pay respectively.
*** The English definition of impetus is “the force or energy with which a body moves.”
** ''Teigr'' Aragon is revealed [[spoiler:to be the [[CatDogDichotomy leader of the Wolves.]]]]
** Novus’ name translates to “new.” It can also mean young, inexperienced, or revived.
* MeaningfulRename: Jamie finally accepting his name as “Baby” acts as a rite of passage.
* OhMyGods: Is said a lot.
* OneWordTitle: Every book is named after a word of importance, sometimes an [[ArcWords Arc Word]].
** ''Passage''
** ''Serendipity''
* ParentalSubstitute: Victory becomes this when she meets Baby.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Siro is unable to stay dead.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Anna and Quinn.
* WarIsHell: The books begin in the middle of a fierce war. ''Serendipity'' begins with an entire base being bombed. People are scared and untrusting. Dying is a very real probability.
