Ninth Legion of Rome disappears after marching to the north of Britain responding to a disagreement among Caledonian tribes. Four thousand soldiers lose their lives. One of the commanders of the commanders is the father of Marcus. Marcus is a leader of soldiers belonging to the second Legion. He goes to refresh his soldiers accompanied by his troop towards a bordering fort. Soon, his camp is attacked by local natives, which acted as his base.
Marcus leads the defense of his fort against the native local tribes. He is badly wounded from the war. He wakes up after several days. He was able to save his men though his leg is injured and certainly unfit to continue serving his duty. This means the end of his career and his ambitions as well. He is taken by his uncle who lives nearby after ending his career.
He lived with his uncle his leg slowly recovering. He attended Saturnalia Games where he bought a gladiator by the name Enter Esca who had lost a fight. He employs him as his servant. The two later that they share much in common. The father of Esca had served as a soldier and had disappeared the same way as that of Marcus. They came to like each other and had a close relationship.
Rumors emerge that suggest that the Ninth eagle was with other tribes. Marcus granted his slave freedom in a promise that he would be loyal. They left together to pursue the said rumors. They came to a place known as Dun which was under the leadership of Dergian and stayed there for some time. Marcus got a chance to attend ceremony only to see the eagle of their Legion although it had no wings. He knew that the Ninth must have been killed attempting to rescue it. Marcus was able to observe that it was not well guarded. The thought came of stealing. The night of vacating, Esca stole and hid it.
The two escaped with minimal challenges only to be found by the tribes, midway their journey. Marcus pretended to be confused later accepting a search. The tribes found no eagle so they continued with their journey looking for it. Esca gets the eagle where he hid it and the two resumes their journey.
The two fasten up as they are being followed up. They are also afraid of those who do not know that they stole the eagle. The major challenge is the condition of Marcus who is not fast enough. However they cannot dare stop. Again they get spotted but now by fewer pursuers. They run into a building for hiding. In the end they are able to find their way home.
At last, they reach home. They present it to the uncle of Marcus celebrating about their victory. However the return of Eagle fails to transform it. Marcus thought of achieving fails somehow.
