Description
The Ninth Roman Legion's disappearance in northern Britain remains one of history's greatest mysteries. According to legend, their symbol, the Eagle, was lost forever.
Years later, Marcus Aquila sets out on a perilous journey to find the Eagle and uncover the truth about his father's fate. As he ventures into the wild and treacherous lands of northern Britain, he must confront the fierce tribes who have long been at odds with the Romans.
A gripping tale of adventure, courage, and self-discovery, this book follows Marcus Aquila as he navigates the challenges of his quest and uncovers secrets about his family's past.
