"A Struggle for Rome, v. 2" by Felix Dahn is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the story set during the tumultuous time of the Gothic Wars, focusing on conflicts surrounding the city of Rome and the tumult between the Gothic king Totila and the Byzantine general Belisarius. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the struggles of various characters caught in the tide of war, especially the lives of Valerius, Valeria, and Totila. At the start of this volume, the tension escalates as Valerius, a Roman citizen, prepares to leave his villa amidst the threat of impending Greek military action led by Belisarius. A Gothic soldier delivers urgent news of a maritime skirmish, signaling the beginning of war. Valerius, determined to protect his daughter Valeria and the land he loves, takes charge and resolves to man the Pass of Jugum, a strategic point against the approaching enemy. The atmosphere is charged with urgency and despair as Valerius makes sacrifices for his family and country, which sets the stage for conflict and a test of character in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
