A Roman-inspired YA fantasy prequel to the Dark Shores series, set during a brutal siege between an occupying legion and a rebel resistance. The story unfolds through three perspectives — a conflicted legion commander, a glory-seeking soldier, and a rebel woman who uses seduction as her weapon — as duty, loyalty, and a forbidden romance collide. It builds the political and personal stakes that carry into the main Dark Shores trilogy.
