Coles Rome: The Eagle of the Twelfth at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A breathtakingly compelling story of a legion at war in the tradition of Conn Iggulden and Simon Scarrow.
They are known as the Legion of the Damned...
Throughout the Roman Army, the Twelfth Legion is notorious for its ill fortune. It faces the harshest of postings, the toughest of campaigns, the most vicious of opponents. 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 realizes he has discovered a vocation - as a soldier and a leader of men. He has come to love the Twelfth and all the bloody-minded, dark-hearted soldiers he calls his brothers.
But just when he has found a place in the world, all that he cares about is ripped from him. During the brutal Judaean campaign, the Hebrew army inflict defeat upon the legion -- not only decimating their ranks, but taking away their soul, the eagle.
There is one final chance to save the legion's honour -- to steal back the eagle. To do that, Demalion and his legionaries must go undercover into Jerusalem, into the very heart of their enemy -- where discovery will mean the worst of deaths -- if they are to recover their pride. And that, in itself, is a task worthy only of heroes.
