The
Last Legion is a fantasy action-adventure in the vein of "The Sword and
the Stone" set against the fall of Rome and its last emperor, 12
year-old Romulus Augustus, the boy who would rule for a day before
losing all that he loved: his family, his home, and an empire that once
stood for truth and honor. Imprisoned on the island-fortress of Capri,
Romulus searches for a means of escape. He discovers instead
"excaliburnus," the legendary sword of Julius Caesar, and realizes that
he must do all in his power to save Rome.
Aided by the clever strategies of his teacher, Ambrosinus, and the
heroic skills of his loyal legionnaire, Aurelius, Romulus escapes the
island. Accompanied by his friends and a mysterious envoy from
Constantinople, Romulus travels to Britannia in search of the last
Roman Legion – the fabled Dragon Legion. There, Romulus will
fight alongside his friends to make his last stand for Rome and take
his first steps to becoming a man and he king who would father a
legend.
