Ninth Legion of Rome disappears after marching to the north of Britain responding to a disagreement among Caledonian tribes. Four thousand soldiers lose their lives. One of the commanders of the commanders is the father of Marcus. Marcus is a leader of soldiers belonging to the second Legion. He goes to refresh his soldiers accompanied by his troop towards a bordering fort. Soon, his camp is attacked by local natives, which acted as his base.
He led his soldiers in defense of their camp against the tribes. Out of that war, he got injured so badly, only to recover after days. He saved his soldiers though his injuries could not allow him to return to his duties. He had to end his career. His ambitions too were lost. His uncle who lived nearby took him. The uncle had retired after the end of his career.
He lives with the uncle with his leg slowly recovering. He attends Saturnalia Games. He buys a gladiator, Enter Esca after losing in battle. He is to serve him as his personal servant. The two discover that they share similarities. The father of Esca was a commander just as that of Marcus. They form a strengthened relationship.
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 escaped with minimal challenges only to be found by the tribes, midway their journey. Marcus pretended to be confused later accepting a search. The tribes found no eagle so they continued with their journey looking for it. Esca gets the eagle where he hid it and the two resumes their journey.
The two fasten up as they are being followed up. They are also afraid of those who do not know that they stole the eagle. The major challenge is the condition of Marcus who is not fast enough. However they cannot dare stop. Again they get spotted but now by fewer pursuers. They run into a building for hiding. In the end they are able to find their way home.
At last, they reach home. They present it to the uncle of Marcus celebrating about their victory. However the return of Eagle fails to transform it. Marcus thought of achieving fails somehow.
