Fallen Eagle Novel

In 1459, the great Roman Empire is no more, its end marked by the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans. In the fading light of the Byzantine world, its last territories teeter on the edge of oblivion. The small Greek Principality of Theodoro, nestled in the Crimean mountains, faces inevitable collapse under the shadow of its conquerors. History professor Nikos Karagiannis finds himself transported into the body of Theodorus, a third son from a disgraced family. Lacking magic or divine favor, Nikos’s only advantage is his knowledge of the political missteps and military strategies that foreshadow Theodoro’s ruin. This novel offers a gritty, realistic depiction of kingdom-building, where logistics and strategy are paramount. Allies and enemies pursue their own agendas, and characters are shaped by the harsh realities of war and politics, with dramatic and tense interplay where no one is safe.
