The last of the Roman army have set sail and left Britain forever,
abandoning it to civil war and the threat of a Saxon invasion. Aquila
deserts his regiment to return to his family, but his home and all
that he loves are destroyed. Years of hardship and fighting follow and
in the end there is only one thing left in Aquila's life - his thirst
for revenge . . . Rosemary Sutcliff's books about Roman Britain have
won much acclaim and the first in the trilogy, The Eagle of the Ninth,
has now sold over a million copies worldwide. The author writes with
such passion and with such attention to detail that the Roman age is
instantly brought to life and stays with the reader long after the
last page has been turned.
