Pina’s debut saga plunges readers into a world of untamed lands, ancient conflicts, and intertwined destinies set against the backdrop of the Roman Empire in 376 AD. The story unfolds during the era of Emperor Valens and Chieftain Fritigern, where a warrior, blessed with otherworldly powers, embarks on a journey that captures the attention of the gods. Amidst the chaos, he becomes entangled in a forbidden romance with a woman from the Taifali tribe. Their love defies societal boundaries and triggers a sequence of events that elevate the human struggle to a cosmic scale.

With meticulous research and vivid mythology, Pina brings to life a world where mortals are mere pawns in the hands of divine forces. As their intervention deepens, the war expands from a historical conflict to an epic confrontation, intertwining the fates of gods, Romans, and Visigoths. Through rich descriptions, Pina transports readers to a brutal world where survival mirrors the blood-soaked arenas of the Coliseum, but on a much grander scale. At its heart, this is a story of love, betrayal, and power, set against a backdrop of violent survival. With its masterful blend of history, mythology, and profound emotions, the novel makes for a compelling page-turner. Readers will eagerly await more from this author.
