About this eBook
The battlefields run with blood in this gripping finale to the bestselling Attila trilogy.
The infamous leader of the Huns stills thirsts for blood and supremacy as he crosses the Danube and prepares to attack the Western Empire and face once more his boyhood friend-turned-foe: Aetius the Roman.
For Attila is set on a plan that will take him right through the entire Italian peninsular and up to the gates of Rome. He must weigh up whether he should attack this, the greatest of cities, or whether the gamble is too high, even for the most battle-hardened of warlords.
In this tumultuous conclusion to the life of the warrior, we see the biggest choices of his blood-soaked career played out, and travel with him right into the silken tent where Attila must ultimately face his destiny.

The last book of Attila's trilogy. William Napier did a very good job to close Attila's tale. Although I feel like in this last book, the writer painted Attila as if he's some sort of antagonist, killer-freak rather than focusing on his entire personality from his boyhood until now. We can see that if only Rome didn't steal everything that is precious to Attila (one fine example is his freedom, Serena and General Stilicho), maybe we wouldn't see the murderous intent coming from Attila now. That's why Attila came back to Rome. He wanted to pour all of his hatred, his anger and frustration. Still, this is a fine book to close the journey of Attila until his death.

Beautifully written, one can almost feel Attila's hatred for Rome pulsating off the page.
