Aetius
A veteran Roman general and statesman, Flavius Aetius, stands as the last great defender of the Western Empire against the encroaching forces of Attila the Hun and the Visigoths. As the empire's borders crumble, Aetius leads desperate campaigns to hold back the barbarian tide, while navigating the treacherous politics of a court that no longer trusts him.
Told through the eyes of his young protégé Tiberius, the novel follows Aetius from the battlefield to the halls of power, culminating in the betrayal that would end his life and the age of Rome's greatness.
