English Summary/英文概要： They are known as the Legion of the Damned...
Throughout the Roman Army, the Twelfth Legion is notorious for its ill fortune. It faces the harshest of postings, the toughest of campaigns, the most vicious of opponents. For one young man, Demalion of Macedon, joining it will be a baptism of fire. And yet, amid all of the violence and savagery of his life as a legionary, he realizes he has discovered a vocation - as a soldier and a leader of men. He has come to love the Twelfth and all the bloody-minded, dark-hearted soldiers he calls his brothers.
But just when he has found a place in the world, all that he cares about is ripped from him. During the brutal Judaean campaign, the Hebrew army inflict defeat upon the legion - not only decimating their ranks, but taking away their soul, the eagle.
There is one final chance to save the legion’s honour - to steal back the eagle. To do that, Demalion and his legionaries must go undercover into Jerusalem, into the very heart of their enemy - where discovery will mean the worst of deaths - if they are to recover their pride.
And that, in itself, is a task worthy only of heroes.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 他們被稱之為被詛咒的軍團…
在整個羅馬帝國的軍隊中，第十二軍團是出了名的厄運纏身。這支軍團面對的是，最為艱險的任務，參加的是最難啃的戰役，碰上的最難纏的對手。對於一位年輕的馬其頓王國的Demalion來說，加入到這支軍團，是一場嚴峻的考驗。然而，當他投身進入這支充滿暴力和野蠻的軍團生活中時，他開始意識到自己找到了屬於自己的一份天地 — 他可以成為一位職業軍人或是領袖人物。他開始漸漸愛上這支被他稱之為兄弟們的血腥黑暗十二軍團。
但當他剛開始為自己找到一處立錐之地時，所有他所關心的一切都離他而去。在與殘酷的裘蒂亞人的戰役中，希伯來人的軍隊給這支軍團帶來了沉重的打擊 — 不僅是對羅馬軍團造成了大量的傷亡，而且還讓這支鷹團嚇破了膽。
這是最後一次挽回軍團榮譽的機會 — 去偷回軍團的標誌。要做到這一點，Demalion和他的軍團士兵們必須偷偷進入耶路撒冷，進入到敵軍非常危險的地區— 在那裡如果被敵軍發現將意味著他們將會面臨比死亡更為可怕的境遇 — 如果他們不能恢復軍團的士氣。
而且，這次任務本身也是一次對英雄的考驗。(Sandy)
