THE LAST LEGION
SYNOPSIS
"The Last Legion" is a fantasy action-adventure in
the vein of "The Sword and the Stone" set against
the fall of Rome and its last emperor, 12 year-old
Romulus Augustus, the boy who would rule for a
day before losing all that he loved: his family, his
home, and an empire that once stood for truth and
honor. Imprisoned on the island-fortress of Capri,
Romulus searches for a means of escape. He
discovers instead "excaliburnus," the legendary
sword of Julius Caesar, and realizes that he must
do all in his power to save Rome. Aided by the
clever strategies of his teacher, Ambrosinus, and
the heroic skills of his loyal legionnaire, Aurelius,
Romulus escapes the island. Accompanied by his
friends and a mysterious envoy from
Constantinople, Romulus travels to Britannia in
search of the last Roman Legion - the fabled
Dragon Legion. There, Romulus will fight alongside
his friends to make his last stand for Rome and
take his first steps to becoming a man and the king
who would father a legend.
