411 AD. - Attila only knows his own people, the Huns ruled by his uncle Rua.
Along with his brother Bleda, he is raised in a violent world in which his people migrate from one area
to another leading an existence of nomadism and hardship. But he does not yet know that Rua has relations
with the Western Roman Empire, the one really responsible for their predicament.
At a time when barbarian peoples are revolting in mass against an authority now weakened
and unable to defend itself, Attila will meet the only Roman worthy of respect for him: a young man named
Flavius Aetius.
But this will not prevent him, in the future, from aspiring to new conquests once he obtains the Hun crown.
And among his targets will end up the two empires of Rome, increasingly struggling to protect their
respective borders from multiple barbarian invasions.
It will be that ambition that will turn Attila into the man known as the Scourge of God, one of the most bloodthirsty rulers
that history has known and whose fame has survived to the present day.
