Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the Sunday Times best-selling Author Manda Scott, a high-octane, stirring and exciting historical adventure full of intrigue and action. Perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow, Robert Harris and Conn Iggulden.
They are known as the legion of the damned....
Throughout the Roman Army, the brutal XIIth Legion is notorious for its ill fortune. For one young man, Demalion of Macedon, joining it will be a baptism of fire. And yet, amid all of the violence and savagery of his life as a legionary, he will come to love the Twelfth and the bloody-minded, dark-hearted soldiers he calls his brothers.
But during the punishing Judaean campaign, the Hebrew army inflict a catastrophic defeat upon the legion - not only decimating their ranks, but taking away their soul - the eagle.
There is just one final chance to save the legion's honour - to steal it back. To do that, Demalion and his legionaries must go undercover into Jerusalem, into the very heart of their enemy.
Recovering their pride is paramount but discovery will mean the worst of deaths....
Critic reviews
"A tale that shines like the Eagle at its heart. I suspect that no one else writes like M. C. Scott. I'm certain plenty wish they could." (Giles Kristian)
"Enthralling..... Gladiator meets Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in a baroque landscape." (Robert Lowe)

Fantastic
Fantastic character structure. I enjoy and appreciate the vivid and real world created within the pages of these books. The author has captured the feeling and resonance of real people, and has taken the time to really bring the individual to life.
