Der Untergang Roms war nur der Anfang, denn nun erhebt sich ein neues Imperium aus der Asche … ANNO DOMINI 439: Das Römische Reich steht kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch. Vandalen ziehen plündernd und in beängstigender Geschwindigkeit durch die römischen Provinzen Spanien und Nordafrika, erobern Karthago und bedrohen die römische Vorherrschaft im Mittelmeerraum. Doch eine weitaus größere Gefahr droht Rom aus dem Osten. Dort formiert sich ein gewaltiges Reiterheer, das aus den weiten Steppen Asiens stammt und alles zu vernichten droht, was sich ihm in den Weg stellt: Die Armee des Hunnenkönigs Attila. Eine kleine Gruppe römischer Soldaten und ein geheimnisvoller Mönch aus Britannien sind davon überzeugt, dass die Rettung Roms darin besteht, Korruption und Schwäche der römischen Kaiser zu beenden und der römischen Armee wieder zu ihrem alten Glanz zu verhelfen. Dazu schmieden sie einen ebenso kühnen wie verzweifelten Plan. Sie wollen in das Herz der Finsternis vorstoßen, direkt in die Festung des meistgefürchteten Kriegerkönigs aller Zeiten. In der größten Schlacht, die das römische Reich jemals zu schlagen hatte, wird derjenige den Sieg davontragen, dem es gelingt, das größte Kriegssymbol der bekannten Welt für sich zu erobern: Das heilige Schwert Attilas.
