Legion of Exiles - The Quintorius Chronicles, #2

THE GENERAL - Aulus Septimus Quintorius, rebel Namorian Senator, Lord of Exiles has survived desperate battles, remorseless politics, and assassination attempts. Challenges that would have crushed a lesser man have only made him stronger. But this next one may prove insurmountable. THE TROOPS - Hard-bitten renegade Legions follow him. Wild and courageous Zantuil tribes rally to his banner. And the far flung city-states of the Zanturian Peninsula pledge wealth and their citizen-soldiers.
But the math remains undeniable - against the multitudes of Namor, they need reinforcements. THE TASK - Quintorius must lure wavering cities to his cause. He must carry on without help, fighting increasingly uneven battles in the hopes of swaying public opinion. And he must court unsavory allies, trusting men who might hand him over to his enemies, or plant a dagger in his back for their own gain. But neither long odds nor treachery have stopped him yet.
