Videssos Cycle: Volume Two: Legion of Videssos and Swords of the Legion (The Videssos Cycle)

The classic fantasy series from â€œone of alternative-historyâ€™s stalwartsâ€ (The New Yorker) continues in the adventure of a lifetime.
Â
Harry Turtledoveâ€™s brilliant re-imaginings of major world events have thrilled fans for decades, but he first captured readersâ€™ attention with the Videssos Cycle, a unique blend of fantasy and speculative history. In this two-book volume, a Roman legion, thrown into another world, fights its way through sorcery, intrigue, and epic conflict.
Â
THE LEGION OF VIDESSOS
Â
Since the legion was mysteriously transported to this magical realm, Roman military tribune Marcus Aemilius Scaurus has valiantly served the rulers of the war-torn city of Videssos. However, Fortune is a fickle goddess. Returning in triumph after defeating a well-entrenched army of rebel mercenaries, Marcus is betrayed by a friend, seized as a traitor, and dragged before the Emperor. Only one person may be able to save him: the Emperorâ€™s niece. But consorting with her could lead to exile . . . or worse.
Â
SWORDS OF THE LEGION
Â
As prisoner of the Emperor, Marcus Scaurus is in a desperate situation. He stands condemned for treason, unless he can reclaim a rebel province from a fanatic usurperâ€”without the aid of his Romans. Now, with just one centurion by his side, Marcus sets out to once again do the impossible. Soon the fates conspire against the men, driving them toward the torture chambers of an evil, deathless wizard-prince. But an audacious last hope rallies behind themâ€”the soldiers of the legion are on the march.
