The Barbarian North — AD450

Narrowly escaping the treacherous attack that killed his father, Halga Hunding treads the exile’s path. Vowing vengeance, the young Jute forges a reputation as a warrior and a leader; but before he can act, a titanic struggle draws him south.

Attila, king of the Huns, the scourge of God, leads a horde across the Rhine. A hundred thousand strong, they ravage the heartland of Roman Gaul — killing, and burning as they go.

Flavius Aetius, Master of Soldiers, hurries north, gathering a host from all the kingdoms of the West. Halga battles at the eye of the storm as Western civilisation fights to survive, and in a lightning campaign of bloodshed and brutality the invaders are repulsed.

Now a warrior of renown leading a troop of battle-hardened veterans, Halga sails for home, and the longed-for reckoning is at hand as he carefully baits a trap…
