The Eagle and the Shadow
A Novel by Miguel Santiago
Rome casts a long shadow. Not all who march beneath it return unchanged.
Centurion Publius Sertorius has survived more campaigns than he can count, but nothing prepares him for the brutality-and the moral cost-of Caesar's war in Gaul. In the mud, forests, and blood-soaked rivers of the frontier, he leads men into battles history will remember... and through choices it will never record.
Alongside him, Marcus-a young recruit confronting his first taste of war-and Quintus-a Gallic-born Roman torn between two worlds-must face not only the enemy in front of them, but the darker battles within.
From the icy Alps to the thunder of Germanic drums along the Rhine, The Eagle and the Shadow is a sweeping, visceral journey into the heart of conquest, loyalty, and loss.
Not all wars are won with swords. Some are survived. Others haunt forever.
