Shrouded Away (Book #1) by Choco_cookie555

They were to capture minor Imperiums, mould their souls and minds into violent infidels as they evolve. Undoubtedly there was an alternative version of them. The Divinuses. These two legions fought each other with such an unimaginable abundance of loathing towards each other....

That is until his skeletons, more dangerous and more violent then Rome itself, show their faces wanting revenge. Learning to survive is hard, learning to move on is even harder. However, unless Hadriana wants to find herself buried six feet under, she's needs to learn how to do both before his skeletons drag them both under ground forever. Lovely cover done by @final_girl13
