For two centuries, the mighty city-states of Aethelgard and Oakhaven have waged an endless holy war across the desolate Ashen Vale. Raised from birth to believe that the gods Sol-Invictus and Luna-Regina commanded the destruction of the other, generations have sacrificed their lives in a conflict no one remembers how it truly began.Valerius, a battle-weary centurion of Aethelgard, has long questioned the purpose of the bloodshed, while Aurelia, an elite scout of Oakhaven, believes victory is a sacred duty. Fate gradually draws the sworn enemies onto the same path as hidden inconsistencies within their civilizations' sacred histories begin to surface. What starts as isolated doubts evolves into a dangerous search for the truth buried beneath centuries of propaganda, political manipulation, and religious devotion.Forced into an uneasy alliance, they uncover forgotten ruins, forbidden archives, and secrets powerful enough to destroy both nations. Hunted as traitors by the rulers who depend on perpetual war, they race to uncover the legendary Prima Chronica before a final campaign wipes out everything.When the truth is finally revealed, it shatters every belief they have ever known. The gods never spoke. The sacred war was never divine. It began as a trivial property dispute between two wealthy landowners whose personal quarrel was twisted by ambitious warlords into a religion that condemned millions to die.As faith collapses and armies lay down their weapons in stunned silence, Valerius and Aurelia must confront the impossible question: How can a civilization built upon a lie find the courage to live with the weight of two hundred years of needless sacrifice?The Broken Eagle is a sweeping alternative-history fantasy about war, faith, power, memory, and the devastating consequences of a single falsehood repeated across generations.
