Draco Dawn

By Colin Dean

Draco Dawn, the first in a trilogy, is a gripping historical Roman fact-fiction novel set against the brutal backdrop of the Dacian Wars during the reign of Emperor Domitian.

At its heart is Titus, a battle-hardened Roman scout acting under direct orders from Domitian. When the infamous ambush of Cornelius Fuscus devastates the Roman forces in the treacherous Carpathian passes, Titus, accompanied by his fiercely loyal war dog Lakon, must navigate the shattered legion against the hostile Dacian Wolf Warriors, aware that it is contrary to his orders.

Blending historical events with intrigue and drama, Draco Dawn is a tale of survival, vengeance, and the fragile hope of redemption amid the chaos of empire.
