Young Roman officer Marcus Aquila takes command of a remote outpost in Britannia. He specifically asked for the assignment as his father was killed somewhere north of Hadrian's wall some 20 years earlier, losing the Ninth Legion's Eagle as well. When a battle with locals seriously wounds Marcus, he is invalided out of the army. Unable to make his mark as a soldier, he sets off with his slave Esca, traveling north of the wall with intent to find out what happened to his father and, more importantly, recover the Ninth Legion's Eagle.
