Marcus Scaurus and his Roman legionnaires remain stranded in the empire of Videssos, a land where magic is as important as military strength. As political rivalries intensify and enemies threaten the stability of the empire, Scaurus finds himself drawn ever deeper into Videssian affairs. Facing treachery, warfare, sorcery, and monstrous foes, the legion must rely on discipline, courage, and ingenuity to survive in a world far removed from the Rome they once knew.
EugeneBookStore Summary
The third volume of the original Videssos Cycle continues Harry Turtledove’s acclaimed blend of Roman military history and Byzantine-inspired fantasy. Rich with political intrigue, battlefield action, and magical conflict, The Legion of Videssos further develops one of fantasy’s most distinctive settings. Readers who enjoy military fantasy grounded in real historical traditions will find this installment especially rewarding.
Collector Notes
The Legion of Videssos completes the original trilogy that introduced readers to the Videssos universe and the adventures of Marcus Scaurus and his lost Roman legion. These novels are among Turtledove’s earliest major works and helped establish the historical fantasy subgenre long before he became famous for alternate history. Early Del Rey editions are particularly desirable to collectors seeking complete matching sets of the original Videssos books.
