Overview

History remembers Attila, the ""Scourge of God,"" whose thundering hordes brought the mighty Roman Empire to its knees. But Attila did not rise from a vacuum. His path to power was paved by the warlords who came before him and was secured by the loyal-and later, rebellious-chieftains who fought under his banner. Shadows of the Hun is a gripping saga that follows the full arc of the Hunnic storm. It begins with the architects of the empire: Uldin, the arrogant raider who first taught Rome to fear the Huns, and Rua, the brilliant unifier who turned scattered tribes into a political powerhouse. At the heart of this epic is Attila himself. This book delves into his terrifying reign, his complex relationships with his vassals, the intricate plots against his life, and the legendary campaigns that made him the most feared man in the world. Finally, witness the sudden and violent shattering of the empire through the eyes of the men who survived him: Ardaric, the trusted friend who became a liberator; Valamir, the Ostrogoth king who endured servitude to secure his people's future; and Edeco, the honorable bodyguard whose loyalty was put to the ultimate test. Shadows of the Hun is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the full, epic story of the Hunnic storm-from its mysterious origins to its terrifying peak and its dramatic collapse.
