The Last Son of the Steppe

Captured by Romans, Ildico is promised her people's freedom if she completes one task: kill Attila the Hun. Sent to him as a concubine, she is surprised by the depth of the man behind the fearsome legend. He sees her not as a prize, but as an equal. Her assassination attempt fails, yet Attila's forgiveness and unwavering love win her over. They build a life together, and she gives him a son, a symbol of hope for a new world. But history is cruel. After Attila's shocking death on their wedding night, Ildico is left alone. Branded a traitor by the Romans and a witch by rival Hunnic chieftains, she must flee with her infant son, embarking on a desperate journey through a collapsing world to find a safe haven for the last legacy of the great conqueror.
