Eagles of Freedom: Aquila

Eagles of Freedom: Aquila

Eagles of Freedom is a bold, sweeping novel of war, love, and revolution set in the dying days of an empire and the fiery birth of a nation. As the Ottoman Empire collapses under occupation, a generation of daring young pilots rises to fight for independence. Their fragile biplanes soar over battle-scarred Anatolia, symbols of defiance against a world determined to carve their homeland apart. In the cockpit, courage and fear become indistinguishable, and loyalty is tested in every smoky dogfight. But true freedom is not forged in battlefields alone. Beneath the sound of engines and cannon fire, another war burns just as fiercely—a quieter, relentless struggle led by women who refuse to be voiceless. They challenge old customs, demand education, and insist on shaping the destiny of a nation that would rather forget them. Some love boldly across class lines and battle lines alike. Others fight for their children’s futures. All carry unspoken longings, stolen kisses, and the fierce hope of a life on their own terms.They dream of futures their mothers were never allowed to imagine. Eagles of Freedom immerses readers in the daily rhythms and stark realities of a country under occupation, capturing not just the clash of armies, but the clash of old and new ways of life. It is the story of those who risked everything—for love, for independence, and for the promise of a freer, more just world.
