She has bedrock research and a butterfly's delicate touch with characters―sure recipe for historical fiction that sucks you in and won't let go!\"―DIANA GABALDON, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Outlander\nArchaeologist Verity Grey has been drawn to the dark legends of the Scottish Borderlands in search of the truth buried in a rocky field by the sea, in this darkly romantic novel of historical fiction by bestselling author Susanna Kearsley.\nThe invincible ninth Roman Legion marches from York to fight the Northern tribes, and then vanishes from the pages of history. When Verity Grey goes looking for them in modern-day Scotland, she may find more than she bargained for.\nHer eccentric boss has spent his whole life searching for the resting place of the lost Ninth Roman Legion and is convinced he's finally found it―not because of any scientific evidence, but because a local boy has \"seen\" a Roman soldier walking in the fields, a ghostly sentinel who guards the bodies of his long-dead comrades.\nHere on the windswept Scottish shores, Verity may find the answer to one of the great unsolved mysteries of the historical record. Or she may uncover secrets from the romantic past that were buried for a reason.\nFans of historical romance will be completely transported by The Shadowy Horses, an exquisite novel of Scottish historical fiction.\nAlso by Susanna Kearsley:\nThe Winter Sea\nA Desperate Fortune\nThe Firebird\nThe Rose Garden\nThe Splendour Falls\nSeason of Storms\nMariana\nNamed of the Dragon\nBellewether\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1402258704\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1402258704.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kearsley, Susanna\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
