Summary
Archeologist Verity Grey has been sent to uncover an ancient Roman campsite in a small village on the Scottish Borderlands--a campsite, her boss believes, is the final resting place of the legendary lost Ninth Roman Legion. But as soon as she arrives, she senses danger in the air: in the icy reserve of archeologist David Fortune; in the haunted eyes to the little boy who has visions of a slain Roman sentinel; and in the unearthly sound of the ghostly Shadowy Horses, who carry men away to the land of the dead.
Summary
Archaeologist Verity Grey is delighted to be offered the opportunity to help uncover an ancient Roman camp in a small Scottish village, but her task becomes complicated by the reserve of her colleague, David Fortune, a young boy's psychic visions, mysterious hauntings, and a growing atmosphere of menace.
