In "The Eagle of the Ninth" by Rosemary Sutcliff, set in Roman Britain, young centurion Marcus Aquila embarks on a quest to locate the lost eagle standard of his father's legion, which vanished in the mysterious north. After suffering a debilitating injury, he befriends a young British hunter named Esca, whose tribal loyalties complicate their journey. Together, they traverse the rugged landscape, forging a bond despite their differing backgrounds. As they face dangers from hostile tribes and discover the truth behind the eagle's disappearance, Marcus must confront his own identity and the complex relationship between Romans and Britons.
