A brooding and atmospheric Scottish tale from a RITA and RT Reviewers
Choice Award-winning and New York Times and USA Today best-selling
author.
The invincible ninth Roman Legion marches from York to fight the
Northern tribes, and then vanishes from the pages of history. When
Verity Grey goes looking for them, she may find more than she bargained
for.
Archaeologist Verity Grey has been drawn to the dark legends of the
Scottish Borderlands in search of the truth buried in a rocky field by
the sea.
Her eccentric boss has spent his whole life searching for the resting
place of the lost Ninth Roman Legion and is convinced he's finally found
it - not because of any scientific evidence, but because a local boy has
"seen" a Roman soldier walking in the fields, a ghostly sentinel who
guards the bodies of his long-dead comrades.
Here on the windswept shores, Verity may find the answer to one of the
great unsolved mysteries of our time. Or she may uncover secrets someone
buried for a reason.
