Set in the shadow of Rome’s brutal expansion, Dacia Rising: The Bear’s Awakening is the first novel in a sweeping fantasy trilogy that merges ancient history, tribal myth, and a rising tide of war and destiny.

As legions approach and Dacian villages burn, Sarion, a reluctant warrior with a mysterious lineage, is thrust into leadership. Marked by a prophecy no one dares speak aloud, he must unite the warring tribes, confront betrayal from within, and awaken a long-lost power whispered in the sacred fires of the Bear.

Haunted by ancestral spirits, pursued by Roman scouts, and tested by trials both human and supernatural, Sarion’s journey takes him from the cursed mountain temples of Kogaionon to the blood-soaked lowlands where legends were born—and empires die.

Within the folds of this ancient land, magic is not a force of spells, but a spiritual reckoning. The gods whisper in dreams, the dead speak in wind, and the land itself remembers what was taken.
