Set in Roman Britain, a young soldier named Marcus Flavius Aquila seeks to learn the truth about the mysterious disappearance of his father's legion, who marched into the mists of northern Britain never to return. Disguised as a Greek oculist and traveling beyond Hadrian's Wall with his ex-slave, Esca, Marcus sets off on a mission fraught with danger in order to discover the fate of the ill-fated Eagle of the Ninth, and restore honor to his family's name.
