Description
Owen is desperate to prove himself in this gripping story of tribal pride and bravery, ideal for young readers studying the Romans.
"The Romans are coming!"
Owen knows what that means. The Romans will burn his village, kill his family, or make them all into slaves. Will his tribe stand up to the Roman army? Should they just give in now?
Or can Owen save his tribe - by creeping into the Roman camp and murdering their leader, the Emperor Hadrian?
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
