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
. . . So begins the story of The Eagle of the Ninth, set against a
backdrop of Roman Britain and featuring a young soldier, Marcus
Aquila, who sets off into the unknown north to find out what happened
to the lost legion. Following on from this are The Silver Branch in
which two young soldiers uncover a plot to overthrow the Emperor, and
The Lantern Bearers which is set at a time when the Romans are leaving
the shores of Britain and tells of Aquila who, having served in the
Roman army, is now returning home to his farm-but when he gets there
everything he knows and loves has been destroyed and so he sets out to
seek revenge. To have three such exciting stories in one volume is a
treat for fans old and new.
