Top 3 Picks - Rosemary Sutcliff Historical Fiction - YA
"The Eagle of the Ninth" is the first in the series, its characters the ancestors of those in its sequel, "The Silver Branch." The final volume, "The Lantern Bearers," takes place during Vortigern's rule, in the late 5th century, in approximately the same area, between Aquae Sulis (Bath) and Rutupiae. This is one of my favorite historical fiction trilogies, even if it is rated for young adults.
