Description
xArthmael is a young Celt boy growing up in the shadow of Rome's advance - a time when the land is changing, and childhood is cut short.
The Roman legions have brought fire and fear to the south of Britain. So far, the Brigantes in the north have lived untouched, but peace is fragile. When the powerful Twentieth Legion begins its march northward, Arthmael's world begins to shift in ways he cannot control.
Caught between a crumbling past and an uncertain future, King Caratacus has plans for resisting the invaders, plans that will draw Arthmael and his family into the turbulent aftermath of a fateful encounter.
What begins as distant news of a far off war, soon becomes personal, and too close for comfort.
Set in 50 AD, In The Eagle's Shadow is a stirring coming-of-age story set against the chaos of conquest. Follow Arthmael's journey through a fractured land, where survival is never guaranteed. This story is a work of historical fiction, set during the Roman invasion of Britain. While it includes references to real people and events from that era, the majority of the characters and storylines are fictional. Some historical details have been adapted or reimagined to serve the narrative, and the book is not intended as a strict retelling of recorded history.
Readers are advised that, although fictional, the content aims to evoke the physical and emotional intensity of a world in upheaval. Where historical records are limited or uncertain, the gaps have been filled with imagination and interpretation.
In keeping with the realities of the time, the story includes graphic depictions of animal sacrifice, hunting scenes, and battle violence. These elements are intended to reflect the harshness of the period and the beliefs and practices of those who lived through it.
As such, this book is not recommended for younger readers due to its graphic content.
