One man is all that stands between Rome and ruin.
AD 429. The Western Roman Empire is crumbling. Barbarian kings ravage its borders, scheming courtiers poison its courts, and civil war bleeds it dry. Against this tide stands Flavius Aetius – the Roman soldier raised by Huns, fighting with the ferocity of both worlds.
But Flavius' deadliest enemy wears a Roman face. Count Bonifacius – the Scorpion – has spent years pulling strings from the shadows. Civil war. Assassination. Betrayal. All of it aimed at one man.
On the steppe, Attila – Flavius' oldest and truest ally – rides towards a destiny the shamans long foretold. The Hunnic crown draws closer. And with it comes a darkness his wife has seen in her dreams – a throne of skulls, and the severed heads of the two men she loves most.
As the empire buckles and old secrets surface, the bond forged between the Eagle and the Wolf in blood and fire faces its gravest test yet. For Bonifacius understands one thing above all else:
To destroy Flavius Aetius, you must first destroy what he holds dear.
Shield of Rome is a thunderous tale of loyalty and vengeance, brotherhood and betrayal – and two legendary men fighting to hold a dying world together.
