The Dragon Standard

In the rugged Carpathian Mountains of the early fourteenth century, a young Vlach shepherd named Dragomir discovers an ancient Dacian relic that awakens a prophecy linking the blood of Decebalus to the emerging principality of Wallachia. Thrust into the service of Voivode Basarab I, he becomes a key figure in the struggle for independence against the Kingdom of Hungary. From the decisive ambush at the Battle of Posada to court intrigues, Tatar incursions, and internal betrayals, Dragomir must navigate treacherous alliances, a forbidden romance with a boyar's daughter, and the weight of his own hidden heritage.
