The Ninth Legion marched into the mists of northern Britain. They were never seen again.
Four thousand men disappeared and their eagle standard was lost. Now, young Roman officer Marcus Flavius Aquilla is on a journey to uncover the fate of the Ninth Legion, and his missing father. This new edition celebrates the centenary of author Rosemary Sutcliff's birth, featuring a beautiful new cover.
This exciting adventure story was inspired by our very own Silchester Eagle.
