Only one man has the power and courage to preserve Rome from utter destruction—but to save the Empire, he must face Attila the Hun.
In an epic campaign that historians have called the most crucial in history, two great warriors match strength and tactics in a colossal struggle for the fate of the known world.
Ultimate authority in the fragile Western Empire rests on the shoulders of one man. Adhering to the ancient code of honor on which Rome was founded, he wages a single-minded struggle against barbarian invasions and internal decadence to prevent a catastrophic reign of terror. Respected and feared by friends and enemies alike, he is Count Flavius Aetius, Supreme General of the Legions.
Facing him is a foe who has led his Asian hordes on a rampage of conquest and terror, from the barren steppes of the north to the very sands of Persia, ruthlessly destroying vast swaths of civilization. Now he and his army of fierce horsemen have penetrated deep into Europe and are poised to strike at the heart of the empire, the city of Rome itself. The entire world shudders at mention of this man's name—Attila the Hun.
On a sweltering June day in A.D. 451, the fates of these two titans collide in a conflict of such massive carnage and heroism as to dwarf nearly every other single battle in history. This monumental contest on a remote plain in Gaul determined the fate of Europe—and the very course of civilization.
