by Ben Kane

The Forgotten Legion is an epic Roman novel that weaves the destinies of three men and one woman, all bound in servitude to the Republic.

Romulus and Fabiola are twins, born into slavery after their mother is violated by a drunken nobleman. At the age of thirteen, they are sold off: Romulus to a gladiator school, and Fabiola into prostitution, where she captures the attention of one of the most influential men in Rome.

Tarquinius is an Etruscan warrior and soothsayer, an enemy of Rome, yet doomed to fight for the Republic in the Forgotten Legion. Brennus is a Gaul whose entire family was slain by the Romans. He rises to become one of the most renowned and feared gladiators of his time, serving as a mentor to the young slave Romulus, who yearns for escape and revenge.

Their lives are intricately intertwined in a captivating tale that begins in a Rome plagued by corruption, violence, and political strife. It concludes at the very borders of the known world, where Romulus, Brennus, and Tarquinius face the Parthians and insurmountable challenges.
