The
Gemina Series
by
Tamara McHatton and Lysa Demorest
Genre:
Historical Romance
The
Thirteenth Twin Legion, known as a Gemina, became a key force in the Roman
Empire's conquest of Gaul and Germania. The renowned commanders, Axilla and
Ocella, must choose to defend their home or fight for the Romans. Death and
tragedy lead the brothers-in-arms to far different fates that will be the
ultimate test of their bond for each other and their loyalties.
The
rebellion rises against the military and politicians with merchants and
villagers caught between two nations. Brothers, lovers, and families, swept
into the rising tides of war, divide their allegiance. Trading routes turn into
spy rings while the heroes decide where their futures lie. Do they live in the freedom
of rural Germania or submit to the tyranny of a Roman emperor?
Legends
emerge when citizens challenge the threat to their land and their way of life.
For a legion that once knelt to an emperor, warrior and merchant alike must
decide who earns their loyalty as their ranks grow in the fire of rebellion.
Love and honor will bring an empire to its knees when heroes change the fate of
Germania.
Axilla
goes against orders to find out the fate of his outpost, only to realize he has
made the greatest sacrifice of his life. His existence now rests on his skills
to survive his captivity as a Roman gladiator.
Corvina,
the scarred protector of their outpost, hides her face -- and her failures --
behind a scarf. Powerful forces put her in the center of Rome, perfectly placed
to spy, giving her one more chance to safeguard her people and the old Roman
ways.
It
falls to the lost Roman legionnaire and the scarfed woman to orchestrate the
heroic plan of saving an empire from itself. They coordinate a daring escape
and set the challenge on the very steps of Rome's aristocracy. A fight to
inspire a rebellion, a fight to inspire a revolution.
Without
his memories, Cordus has to create a new life for himself with borrowed skills.
His rescue from a battle-torn town leads him on a journey through Germania and
Rome with Katja Kaufer to lead the way. He is a forgotten man displaced in a
rebellion that threatens the very lives of the people who rescued him.
The web
of rising suspicions entangles Katja's way of life as a traveling merchant,
when Cordus's past brings the leaders of the rebellion, Axilla and Corvina, to
their camp. Now, she has to decide if the safety of the people she cares about
is worth the protection of one man.
