    About this audiobook

    A.D. 448. The Roman Empire is crumbling.
    The Emperor is weak. Politicians scheme and ambitious generals vie for power. Then, from the depths of Germany, arises an even darker threat: Attila, King of the Huns, determined to crush Rome once and for all. In a time of danger and deception, three young people dream that Rome can be made great once more. But they find themselves forced to survive in a world more deadly than any of them could have imagined.

      A disappointment and not quite what I thought it would be: continuation of the author's previous book, The Lion and the Lamb . This novel was set in southern Gaul, a century or so after the other took place. This one was a look into the meltdown of the Western Roman Empire through the stories of two families: one, a patrician brother and sister and the other, a young man whose family had fallen upon hard times and into poverty. Various barbarian tribes are controlling parts of Gaul; Rome is a shadow of its former self. The story is how these two families content with the situation. I really had not much sympathy for the male characters. The sister aroused my pity, forced into a loveless marriage with a cruel man. Battle scenes were a pale shadow of what I've read in other Roman fiction; Catalaunian Plains especially could have been more exciting. It was after all a pivotal moment in history: the stopping of Attila in his conquests. The novel ended abruptly; I don't know if the author plans a sequel or not. Loose ends were left hanging.
