The Standard

By Benjamin Rolph

Why does a man fight? For his God, his family, his freedom-or something more?

Upon an unknown shore, the remnants of a Roman legion are cast by storm and fate, broken and scattered far from home. Among them stands Gaius Cassius Varro, a centurion who will be forever changed-torn between the memory of an empire and the call of a new land. In the clash of worlds, his oath as a soldier must be reforged into something greater.

Meanwhile, amid the turmoil of an ancient war, a mighty captain named Moroni dares to raise a banner that will change the fate of his people. Inspired by the Roman eagle yet bound by faith, he lifts the Title of Liberty-a torn piece of his own coat, inscribed with a solemn vow to defend God, freedom, family, and religion. With courage and conviction, he rallies a divided nation against tyranny and betrayal, uniting them to the cause of peace. But will these two leaders, worlds apart in land and belief, find common purpose beneath the same standard and foe-or will their paths divide forever?

Blending the grit of Roman warfare with the spiritual struggle of an ancient American people, The Standard is a story of loyalty, sacrifice, and the bonds that are forged both in and out of battle.
