Description
A collection of three novels of Roman Britain in one volume.
The Eagle Of The Ninth is set in the early days of the Roman province. The Silver Branch is placed during the time when the rebel general, Carausius, is proclaimed Emperor by his British troops. The Lantern Bearers takes place when the last roman army has left, abandoning Britain to internal strife and the menace of invasion by the Saxons.
They are absorbing adventures in which an ancient world, peopled by warm, living characters, is dramatically brought to life by this award-winning author.
