Product Description
The Ninth Legion marched into the mists of northern Britain and were never seen again. Four thousand men disappeared, and the Eagle, the symbol of the Legion's honour, was lost. Years later a story emerges that the Eagle has been seen. So Marcus Aquila, whose father disappeared with the Ninth, sets off to find the Eagle and bring it back.
