Ninth Legion from Rome disappeared after they had gone to North Britain to fight Caledonian tribes which had been uprising. A lot of soldiers had lost their lives. The father of Marcus had been one of the leaders of the troop as a commander. Marcus happened to be the leader of the second Legion. He was going to refresh his troops in a nearby fort when his camp was attack by natives. This was a camp that was his base.
Marcus leads his troop to defend his camp against the native tribes. He is wounded badly from that war. He recovers after some days. He saves his soldiers but he is injured and it is certain that he is not in a fit condition that can enable him to resume his duty. This ends his career and ambitions too. His uncle who retired serving takes him to his home.
He lives with his uncle and his leg recovering slowly. Marcus goes to visit Saturnalia Games. He buys Enter Esca, a gladiator who loses in a fight to death battle as his personal slave. The two form a relationship more than the normal master and slave. Like Marcus father, the father of Esca too was a commander.
Rumors emerge that Ninth eagle is seen with other tribes. Marcus sets his royal slave free Esca and they leave together in pursuit of those rumors. They travel until Dun whose leader is Derdian and live for some days. Marcus is allowed to attend a ceremony and is surprised to see the eagle of Ninth Legion though without wings. It occurs to him that the Ninth Legion had died protecting it. Marcus plans to steal it after learning that it is not guarded. The night before they leave, Esca steals the eagle and hides it.
The two leave without difficulties but are caught up by the tribes, midway in their journey. Marcus pretends to be confused and they allow the tribes to search him. They find no eagle and continue in search of it. Esca returns to the place he hid the eagle and recovers it. The two now have to run for their safety.
The two required speed in order to escape the attention of the pursuers. They feared everyone, even those who did not know them. The condition Marcus derailed their speed since he had not yet healed. However they could not dare to stop either. They encountered the pursuers once more. This time they were not many. The two had to hide in a nearby building to seek refuge. At last, they were successful with their journey.
Finally, they reached. To them they had earned victory. They presented his uncle. However Eagles return failed to reform it. Marcus dreams had been shuttered again.
