Lupus et Aquila

Two men. Two loyalties. One war that will change them both.
When Roman soldiers destroy his home and take his father from him, Sinna is left with grief, anger, and a fierce determination to defend his people. His only constant companion is a half-wild dog that refuses to leave his side—a bond formed on the night everything else is lost.
Across the frontier, Aquila is a seasoned Roman legionary who has spent years serving an empire that demands obedience, endurance, and sacrifice. Campaign after campaign has taught him how to survive, but it has also begun to erode the certainty he once carried into battle.
As Trajan’s brutal conquest of Dacia gathers force, Sinna fights for homeland and identity while Aquila faces the cost of duty from within the invading army. Their stories move through the same war from opposing sides, revealing the loyalty, grief, trauma, and moral pressure hidden beneath Rome’s victories.
Lupus et Aquila: The Wolf and the Eagle is the first book in The Aquila Chronicles—a character-driven historical novel about survival, the cost of empire, and the humanity that remains on both sides of a battlefield.
