More Detail:
THE EAGLE is a compelling military tale about an Ancient Roman soldier and a Briton uniting together to defend honor.
The story is set in 140 A.D., twenty years after the Ninth Legion of Rome disappeared in Scotland. The legion is presumed wiped out by the Scottish pagans, so Emperor Hadrian builds his famous wall separated Roman-controlled Britain from Scotland.
Now, Marcus Aquila, the son of the general who the vanished legion, has come to command a Roman outpost in Britain. Bravely leading his men, Marcus fends off a major attack, but is severely wounded.
Given an honorable discharge because of his wounds, Marcus is frustrated that he can no longer reclaim the honor of his father. While recuperating, Marcus impulsively saves the life of a young Briton in a gladiator contest, so his uncle buys the Briton, Esca, to be his slave. Esca vows to serve Marcus because he saved his life.
Then, the Romans and Marcus hear a rumor that the Ninth’s standard, the Roman Eagle, has been seen in a tribal temple in the far north. With Esca to show him the way into the Scottish highlands, Marcus sets off across Hadrian’s Wall. The dangerous trip will test the honor of both Marcus and Esca.
