Oxford Bookworms Library. — 84 p.In the second century AD, when the Ninth
Roman Legion marched into the mists of
northern Britain, not one man came back.
Four thousand men disappeared, and the
Eagle, the symbol of the Legion's honour,
was lost.
Years later there is a story that the Eagle has been seen
again. So Marcus Aquila, whose father disappeared with the
Ninth, travels north, to find the Eagle and bring it back, and
to learn how his father died. But the tribes of the north are
wild and dangerous, and they hate the Romans . . .
