  The 5th century has dawned in blood. The fate of the Roman Empire lies in the hands of two men - Aetius and Atiila - the Roman and the hun. Both prepared to lay down their lives - one in defence of the Empire, and the other in pursuit of its absolute destruction. A friendship forged in childhood has been torn asunder, as Aetius and Attila return to their respective homelands. Both are confronted by pretenders to the crown - in Rome and in the Hunnish territories - both are prepared to seize power by any means necessary. For two men, the bonds of youth must die, and the call of duty - and destiny - be answered. A story of sex and power, violence and war, prophecy and madness, set amid one of the most bloodthirsty and tumultuous periods in history.
