内容简介：
Treachery abounded in fifth century Britain. Under the cover of night and with the aid of treason, Vortigern, King of Powys, consumed by ambition, storms the castle on the High King of Britain in Venta, killing most of his men-at-arms and murdering Constantine Aurelianus. His men search for the heir to the throne, Ambrosius. But fate willed it that the young prince survive and managed to escape with a handful of loyal men: This is his story. From the prow of the boat that took him to the Continent, Ambrosius Aurelianus watched the coast of Britain disappear in the distance. He was unaware then of how much his life would change in a few years. He would lose the woman he loved, and with her, his desire to return to his homeland and claim the throne that is his birthright. But again fate played an important role in his life, and he was called upon to liberate the Isle of the Mighty from the tyrant. The Return of the Eagle, first installment in The Matter of Britain cycle, sets the stage for the events that will bring about the greatest era in British history; the Age of Arthur.
