In the year 117 the Ninth Hispanic Legion, stationed at Hadrian’s Wall, went into the mists of Caledonia and acquired legendary status when 4,000 men disappeared in the Scottish highlands without a trace. Twenty years later, Marcus Flavius Aquila, son of one of the cursed legion’s centurions, arrives in Britain in command of a Gallic auxiliary cohort to be stationed in Isca Dumnoniorum. Everything goes smoothly until a druid arrives in the region and provokes an uprising among the Britons. Marcus’s expertise saves his men and their outpost, but he is severely wounded and must retire from service. Retired and depressed, he is presented with the opportunity for the greatest adventure of his life, for north of Hadrian’s Wall there is a rumor that a powerful war amulet has reappeared: the Eagle of a Roman legion. It can be none other than the Eagle of the Ninth, and Marcus is willing to risk his life in order to restore honor to his father’s legion, take the trophy from the barbarians, and solve the mystery of the legion’s disappearance.

 

En el año 117 la Novena Legión Hispana, de guarnición en el Muro de Adriano, se internó en las nieblas de Caledonia y adquirió estatus de leyenda cuando cuatro mil hombres desaparecieron en las tierras altas de Escocia sin dejar rastro. Veinte años después, Marco Flavio Aquila, hijo de uno de los centuriones de la legión maldita, llega a Britania al mando de una cohorte de auxiliares galos para estacionarse en Isca Dumnoniorum. Su primer mando transcurre plácidamente hasta que aparece en la región un druida que provoca el levantamiento de la población britana. Su pericia consigue salvar a sus hombres y el fuerte fronterizo, pero resulta gravemente herido y debe abandonar el servicio. Retirado y deprimido, se le presenta la oportunidad de correr la mayor aventura de su vida porque al norte del Muro de Adriano corre el rumor de que ha reaparecido un poderoso amuleto de guerra: el Águila de una legión romana. Sólo puede ser el Águila de la Novena, y Marco está dispuesto a arriesgar su vida para devolver el honor a la legión de su padre, arrebatar el trofeo a los bárbaros, y resolver el enigma de la misteriosa desaparición de la legión.
