Dieci anni dopo, in quel borgo ridotto a macerie, abitato solo dai tre ragazzi inselvatichiti da solitudine e priva-zioni, padre Julen de la Cruz fu catapultato lì senza un perché. Vent’anni prima, fu padre Cullighan, infatti, per via di quella tesi sull’imperatore Costantino, a chiedergli di fare ricerche. Padre Julen invece, partì missionario per l’Africa. Si scambiarono qualche lettera poi, una busta. Di là arrivava. Fuor del Vallo. Lo schizzo di un simbolo che conosceva bene.

The year is 500 AD. Sisters Isla and Blue live in the shadows of the Ghost City, the abandoned ruins of the once-glorious mile-wide Roman settlement Londinium on the bank of the River Thames. But the small island they call home is also a place of exile for Isla, Blue, and their father, a legendary blacksmith accused of using dark magic to make his firetongue swords—formidable blades that cannot be broken—and cast out from the community. When he dies suddenly, the sisters find themselves facing enslavement by the local warlord and his cruel, power-hungry son.

Un nuevo y extraño enemigo ha irrumpido desde las estepas y lo arrasa todo a su paso. Nadie sabe quiénes son, ni de dónde proceden. Es imposible encontrar información sobre ellos en los archivos imperiales; ningún historiador, ningún geógrafo los ha descrito antes. Son hábiles jinetes, menudos, de piernas arqueadas y extraños rasgos, implacables; son los hunos. Decenas de miles de godos, incapaces de resistir el empuje imparable de esos demonios, se ven obligados a dejar sus hogares y las tierras de sus antepasados.

His name is Attila - 'the Scourge of God'.
