Book 2 in the Legacy Series: In the crucible of combat and cunning, survival is far from triumph. For Luke Hart, enduring the perils of his first year and emerging unscathed from the final Proelium was only the beginning of his ordeal. In the wake of relentless attacks orchestrated by the sinister Lazarus Caius Crassus, Luke and the stalwart members of the House of Aurelius struck back-but their efforts seemed futile. With Crassus now a ghost, eluding their grasp, and his superior Legion of Echoes closing in like a storm, the task of rallying his house and preparing them for the looming conflict falls squarely on Luke's weary shoulders. As he becomes increasingly entwined with the clandestine world of Legacy, the shackles of his new life tighten, distancing him from his cherished McKenna and causing a ripple in her unconditional view of his character. In the shadows of history, the chilling reverberations of the Third Servile War are rising, crescendoing to a fever pitch that Luke can no longer ignore. As these Echoes of Fate converge, they are set to become Luke's most formidable challenge yet. In this enthralling sequel to "Legacy," Luke must navigate a treacherous path, where alliances are as shifting as the sands, and allegiance is becoming entwined with survival. With love, loyalty, and life itself in the balance, will Luke rise to be the beacon his world desperately needs, or will the crushing pressure of destiny see him shattered and broken? Legacy: The Echoes of Fate is the sequel to Legacy.
