Summary: "A Struggle for Rome, v. 1" by Felix Dahn is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the 6th century, it revolves around the struggles of the Gothic people under King Theodoric as they navigate the complexities of power, allegiance, and cultural identity amidst the threat of Byzantium and internal discord. The story features a cast of characters including the wise and battle-hardened King Theodoric, his loyal old master-at-arms Hildebrand, and a group of young Gothic warriors grappling with their responsibilities and emotional loyalties. The opening of the novel establishes a tense and atmospheric night in Ravenna as a group of Gothic leaders gathers at a temple to discuss the dire situation facing their kingdom. The old master Hildebrand warns of impending danger as King Theodoric succumbs to illness, leaving his heir Athalaric and daughter Amalaswintha vulnerable to political machinations. The Gothic warriors engage in earnest discussions, illustrating their fears of betrayal from the Italians and the scheming Byzantines, all while establishing their allegiance to their heritage and the unity of the Gothic people. This opening section sets the stage for a gripping tale of loyalty, cultural pride, and an impending struggle for power as external threats loom large. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
