Driven from Rome by his envious stepfather, fourteen-year-old Lucius finds himself exiled to Londinium.
The action-packed story of Roman boy Lucius, exiled from Rome to the most savage province of the Empire - Britannia.
Plunged into mortal danger as he flees his stepfather's assassin, Lucius takes a false name and joins the brutal ranks of The Eagles, the Roman Legion in Britannia. Under the watchful eye of the god Jupiter, Lucius excels in battle and catches the attention of his superiors - but how can he fulfil his destiny when he can't even claim his own name? As the shadows of war gather, Lucius's secret past catches up with him. He must face not only the Celtic rebels but also his stepfather's relentless vendetta - and the spectre of his own self-doubt.
