53 BC. Marcus Licinius Crassus marches forty thousand Roman legionaries into the deserts of Parthia, chasing the glory that has always eluded him. What he finds instead is annihilation and a debt paid in molten gold. Among the survivors is Tullus Rufinius, a centurion sold into slavery with ten thousand of his comrades. Somewhere between the slave markets of Babylon and the frozen steppes of the Xiongnu empire, he must forge a legion with no homeland, no Republic, and no way home. Based on one of history's most tantalizing mysteries—the lost legion of Carrhae, the story of the men Rome forgot.
