The young Roman noble Flavius Aëtius is sent as a hostage to the Huns after his parents are killed in a political coup. His value depends upon a lie, and survival requires him to learn the customs of a people whom Rome regards as barbarians.
Among the Huns, Aëtius forms a reluctant friendship with the young Attila. Their bond develops while Roman authority weakens and rival peoples move across imperial territory, establishing the personal connection that will later place two of the fifth century’s most powerful commanders on opposing sides of a struggle for the West.
