Description
Rosemary Sutcliff’s The Eagle of the Ninth is the classic story of a young Roman centurion sent out to recover the infamous Ninth Legion’s missing symbol of honor. Over a million copies sold worldwide, it was adapted to a major motion picture (The Eagle) starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell.
The Ninth Legion marched into the mists of Northern Britain–and they were never seen again. Four thousand men disappeared and their eagle standard was lost. It’s a mystery that’s never been solved, until now . . .
Marcus Aquila has to find out what happened to his father, who led the legion. So he sets out into the unknown, on a quest so dangerous that nobody expects him to return.
