Paperback edition of the bold new historical fantasy of a secret order of Roman monster-hunters.

We do not exist. Our task is to hunt monsters that threaten the Empire. We are the Hidden Legion.

Aemilius thought he would die heroically in battle like his forefathers, not gutted by a creature out of myth on a lonely mountain pass. But death came for him on terrible wings and claws… and at the last moment, he was saved.

And now, somehow, he’s the newest member of the so-called “Hidden Legion,” tagging along with a squabbling crew of heathens, vagabonds, killers, wizards, disgraced nobles and former soldiers, hunting monsters to keep the world safe from chaos.

It is the twentieth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius Caesar Augustus, and a darkness is growing across the Empire. And an unknown enemy is setting traps for the Legion itself…

A teacher, a stand up comic, former cement packing factory worker and graduate of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, Snorri Kristjansson also writes things. Sometimes they are books (mainly about Vikings), sometimes they are films (mainly not about Vikings) or silly stage plays (you probably don’t want to know, to be honest). He now spends his days working with words, eating cakes and teaching Drama.

Reviews for The Hidden Legion

“Kristjansson’s sleek, action-packed tale is the blend of The Dirty Dozen and Ray Harryhausen we didn’t know we needed.” -- The Financial Times “The cozy dark monster hunting fantasy you’re looking for.” -- Grimdark Magazine
