Amid the misty highlands of ancient Lusitania rises the figure of Viriathus - shepherd, warrior, and eternal symbol of resistance against the greatest empire of his time: Rome. In this gripping and powerful narrative, readers are transported to a world of honor, betrayal, and courage, where freedom is worth more than life itself.
"Viriathus: The Wolf of Lusitania" is a historical novel that blends real characters with fictional ones, emotionally and humanely reconstructing the saga of the Lusitanian leader who refused to kneel. From forest ambushes to the final siege at Erges, we follow an uneven yet inspiring struggle against Roman oppression - and the cost of loyalty in a world scarred by corruption and war.
Written in accessible language with contextual accuracy, the book doesn't merely recount adapted historical events, but dives into the soul of a people and the essence of a man who chose not to be a king, but a symbol.
An epic tribute to the indomitable spirit of those who would rather die standing than live on their knees. A story that echoes like a wolf's howl among the stones of memory.
