But the native Britons are growing more cunning in their resistance, constantly snapping at the heels of the mighty Roman forces.\n\n\n\nWhen the most brutal of the native tribesmen, the Druids of the Dark Moon, capture the shipwrecked wife and children of General Plautius, quick action is called for. Two volunteers from the crack Second Legion must venture deep into hostile territory in a desperate attempt to rescue the prisoners.\n\n\n\nCenturion Macro and his optio, Cato, find themselves slipping out of camp in the dead of night to reach the General's family before they are sacrificed to the Druids' dark gods. They know they are heading towards an almost certain death, and their only hope is that, with sheer courage and ingenuity, they can outwit the most ruthless foes they've ever faced.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan, 2005","offers":[{"title":"When the Eagle Hunts \/ Very Good","offer_id":52780973785380,"sku":"9780312305369VG","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_0d1e091e-15cb-48b7-b2e8-5c056b7d749e.jpg?v=1781792793","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780312305369","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
