About this series
In a whirlwind of fire and carnage, Attila the Hun wheels half a million horsemen towards Roman territory.
In his path, corruption and greed have undermined the ancient empire and the vacillating emperor, Valentinian III, has cut Rome's legions to a sliver. But out of this smoke a wily, battle-scarred general, Avitus, rises in her defence. Making allies of his enemies, Avitus rallies barbarian warlords to fight for the Eagle and crosses the Alps to face Rome's nemesis. But when Attila offers to split the Empire's corpse with the Goths his march becomes a suicide mission.
One war will decide the fate of civilization.
The Battle of the Catalaunian Plains rages through the night. Individual acts of bravery and cowardice tip the final balance. Rivers run red and burst their banks with blood. Dawn draws a portrait of unimaginable carnage.
In a tale of epic deeds, heroes confront insurmountable odds, with honour and courage. Avitus faces a myriad of enemies, both Roman and barbarian but can one man save civilisation?
"…brilliantly described re-enactment of real historical leaders and characters intimately involved in the massive and decisive struggle. Told with all the literary finesse of the finest historical novels and as gripping as Game of Thrones." Patric Hale, author and historian.
