Legio XIII: Memento Mori
A historical novel of blood, loyalty, and destiny
57 BC. Rome prepares to conquer Gaul. Julius Caesar, an ambitious and charismatic proconsul, forms a new legion: Legio XIII.
Sextus, a young Roman born in the Italian countryside, leaves behind a life of rural poverty to join the army. He is driven not by patriotism or glory, but by necessity. Recruited just as the Thirteenth Legion is formed, Sextus is thrown into a war machine where the weak do not survive and death is a daily certainty.
From the rugged lands of northern Italy to the dark forests of Gaul, Sextus will endure the pain of training, the fear of first battle, and the weight of spilled blood. But he will also find brothers-in-arms, forge his place among men, and grow under the shadow of a general who will change history.
Follow Sextus in his transformation—from frightened recruit to seasoned soldier in a legion destined for eternity. Because in the Thirteenth Legion, one truth remains:
Memento Mori — remember you will die.
