This was my second time reading The Shadowy Horses and, after having read several other of Kearsley's books in between, this one isn't my absolute favourite, though it's still very good. The story revolves around an archaeological dig in southern Scotland, searching for the missing Roman Ninth Legion. Kearsley hypothesizes a believable end for the Legion in a story interspersed with elements of love and the occult. A well-planned novel which makes for a great light read.
