Damion Hunter Synopses: The Legions of the Mist is a standalone novel by Damion Hunter. The Ninth Hispana was once the pride of the Roman Army, celebrated for numerous successful campaigns. However, by the time Centurion Justinius Corvus joined, it had clearly fallen on hard times.

Smarting from a recent demotion and transfer to Britain, a land he despises, Justinius nevertheless works hard to instill in his men the same pride he feels as a Roman soldier.

As their bond strengthens, both among themselves and with the occupied land, their combat skills are pushed to the limit against the forces of Vortrix, High King of the Britons. As battle lines are drawn, the fate of an army, and of a nation, hangs in the balance.

The Wall at the Edge of the World by Damion Hunter is a standalone novel.

The new Emperor faces significant challenges in Britannia, where trouble is brewing north of the Wall. The tribes are stirring, and a new conflict is on the horizon, testing old and new loyalties alike.
