Legions on the Southern Shore

AD43: The unstoppable Roman Legions are mustering for war. Rufus, a sixteen-year-old Roman slave, must choose whether to elope or march with them. The campaign should offer him the perfect opportunity for escape and a new start. But life isn’t that simple. Not only has he taken oaths of obedience to his owners - he is also head-over-heels in love with his master’s son.

Legions on the Southern Shore is a tale of devotion and divided loyalties, of choosing between love and freedom, and between fulfilment and family. In the chaos of war, few paths are straightforward, and for Rufus one wrong move could ruin everything.
