The Lost Legion's Shadow
In Roman Britain, 117 AD, young Marcus Flavius Aquila arrives at a frontier fort near modern Exeter, eager to prove himself as a commander. The shadow of his father's lost Ninth Legion hangs over him-they vanished in northern Britain years earlier, leaving behind only whispers and rumors. As Marcus settles into command, he navigates the complex web of personalities under his command: a surgeon drowning sorrows in native spirits, a bitter quartermaster, and centurions testing his authority at every turn. Life falls into rhythm until Marcus befriends Cradoc, a local British charioteer. Their friendship carries an undercurrent of tension-Cradoc's prized hunting spear once belonged to his father, who died fighting Romans on the very ground where Marcus's fort now stands. When fresh heron feathers appear on Cradoc's war spear-a sign of coming conflict-Marcus's vigilance heightens. His instincts prove correct when a massive tribal force attacks the fort. Leading a desperate sortie to rescue a trapped patrol, Marcus recognizes Cradoc charging toward his men. In a split-second decision that will forever alter his path, Marcus throws himself before the charging horses, bringing down the chariot but suffering catastrophic injuries beneath its wheels.
