In Book 3 of the Dacian Wildcat Series, Castor's battle moves from survival to identity.
After a year among his mother's Roman family, eleven-year-old Castor is taken back to Dacia-but not to the mountain village he still calls home. Instead, his family moves to Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, the new Roman capital rising in conquered Dacia. There, Castor's powerful grandfather, Aeolus Domitian, takes charge of his education and training.
Aeolus sees Castor's courage, skill, and fierce spirit as the making of a future Roman military leader. Castor sees something different: another attempt to strip away his Dacian heritage.
His days are shaped by Roman expectations-strict lessons, sword training, public appearances, bathhouse customs, household rules, military discipline, and the demands of family rank. Yet the more others insist he is a Domitian, the harder Castor clings to the memory of his Dacian father and the hope that Genaro will return for him.
Panos loves Castor as his son and wants desperately to help, but Roman law and the authority of the family patriarch limit what he can do. If he pushes too hard, he may endanger the very child he is trying to protect.
Set against the building of Rome's new capital in Dacia, Castor's Strife is a historical adventure about loyalty, identity, family power, and the painful struggle of a boy caught between the world that raised him and the empire determined to claim him.
