Campos de gloria
Santamaría, Pedro
Year 450 AD. The empire of Attila, king of the Huns, stretches from the Rhine to the Black Sea and from the Danube to the Baltic. His invincible hordes have subdued the Germanic tribes and over and over again defeated the Eastern Roman Empire, which now, in fear, bows before him and pays tribute. From the Danube to Constantinople everything is devastated. Flavio Aecio, commanding general of the Western troops, knows that, sooner or later, it will be his turn for his part of his Empire. But the West is weak and alone: ??the rich province of Africa has fallen into the hands of the Vandals, Swabians and Bagaudas roam freely in Hispania and, in southwestern Gaul, the Goths have established a small kingdom around the city ??of Tolosa. Meanwhile, in Ravenna, the imperial court of the young and incapable Valentinian III is little more than a nest of vipers, conspiracies and betrayals. Aetius is aware that if there is an opportunity to save what little remains of Rome, he will have to make a pact with his ancient and suspicious enemies, Theodored's Goths, and face the hordes of Attila in what will be the last great battle of the Roman army. On the green plains of Gaul, History itself will hold its breath. The future of the West is at stake. A day. All or nothing.
