Shadow of the Eagle: ''A terrific read'' Conn Iggulden

English

By (author): Damion Hunter

Will Britain take him in... or mark him as its enemy?'A brilliantly realised world of Imperial ambition and native resistance' Simon Scarrow'Wonderful, distinct characters' Conn Iggulden

Faustus Valerianus is the son of a Roman father and a British mother, a captive sold among the spoils after Claudiuss invasion.

Now both parents have died within a month of each other, and so he sells the family farm and enlists, joining legendary general Agricolas campaign to conquer the entirety of the British Isles culminating in a devastating battle amongst Caledonia's dark mountains.

But Faustus will have to contend with more than ferocious British warriors and whip-cracking elements. For the bonds of blood can weigh heavy on ones soul. The call of his mothers true people. His fathers restless shadow. Faustus must carry them with him

A deeply moving, gripping, epic historical drama, perfect for fans of Rosemary Sutcliff, Ben Kane and Simon Scarrow.

'I only need one word to describe this stunning novel: masterful' Anthony Riches, Sunday Times bestselling author of Wounds of Honour
