As Hun hordes and Germanic tribes maraud through Imperial lands, two legendary men – Attila the Hun and the Last of the Romans, General Flavius Aetius, find their fortunes entangled with the chaos.

Flavius Aetius, a noble Roman son, is an outsider in a savage land. He has been banished, given as a hostage to the barbaric Huns, and sent to the edge of the world.

What the Huns do not know, however, is that his father and mother have been murdered in a coup. He is an orphan, with no value at all. His life hangs on a lie.

In this new harsh world, he manages to find one grudging ally, a young boy named Attila.

A brotherhood is formed. One that, the shamans foretell, will shatter the world.
