They sent 80 men to die. 10 came back gods. He thrust into command. A Legion forgotten by Rome. An alien war that followed them home. Gaius was young when they gave him the Centurion's crest-too young, they said. A joke with a sword too big for his hands. Then the Wall fell. The Veyr came. And the boy became a killer of kings. Now he's Legate of the Damned. When a Black Hawk crashes in Afghanistan, Sergeant Hutch and his Helljumpers wake up in Ancient Rome-conscripted into Legio XIII, the cursed "Damned" Legion of a dying Empire fighting the Veyr, nightmarish aliens that eat worlds. Eighty men go into the Hive. Ten come out. They bring back two things: 1. The head of a Queen 2. A message from Earth: 14 million dead and counting The Veyr followed them through. Chicago is gone. DC is next. Rome thinks the war is over. Rome is wrong. Now a Legate leads a thousand Damnatorum back through the portal. Mission: Invade Earth. Burn the Hives. End the Veyr.
