Betrayed. Enslaved. Forged in War. 93 B.C.E. – As the Roman Republic teeters on the brink of civil war, Iberian tribes wage a desperate struggle against the relentless march of Roman legions. Among them is Caro , a slave and hunter, torn from his homeland as a child, surviving only by the blade and his wits. But when a reckless act of defiance leads to his capture by a ruthless Roman governor, Caro faces a brutal choice: die in chains or fight for Rome. Rescued (if it can be called that) by the ambitious young officer Quintus Sertorius , Caro is thrust into the brutal world of Roman warfare. From blood-soaked ambushes in the wild Iberian hills to the deadly politics of the Roman world, Caro must learn quickly, because in this world loyalty is fleeting, and only the strong survive. As he marches deeper into the heart of Rome’s war machine, Caro must decide: is he a soldier, a traitor, or a survivor? The Boar and the Eagle transports the reader into the very heart of a different kind of Roman Republic. Experience the Roman world during a unique period in its history: a time of struggle, nationhood, citizenship, and bloodshed. Travel from the corners of the Republic to the very heart of its growing empire. Would you fight for Rome, or betray her
