"I've heard Cretan archers are good bowmen but weak skirmishers," a Tribune offered. "It has something to do with the teeny, tiny shields they wear like jewelry on their left forearms."
"They wear jewelry into combat," Tribune Scipio moaned. "What have I done?"
Set in the desperate years of the Second Punic War, the series follows the exploits of Cretan archer Jace Kasia and Roman Legion Tribune Cornelius Scipio. One is a castaway searching for a home while the other seeks to step out of the shadow of a famous father.
On their journey from exile, the orphan and the descendant will need to come together to save a trapped Legion from total annihilation.
