Attila: The Scourge of God

The opening novel of the Attila Trilogy introduces the fifth-century Roman world as imperial authority weakens and new powers press against its borders. Attila emerges from the Hunnic world as a leader capable of uniting horse-warrior peoples and turning scattered fear into organised force. The book sets his rise against the career of Aëtius, the Roman commander whose own survival and military skill make him Attila’s eventual opponent.
