The Huns, savage warriors that got here out of nowhere, are attempting to beat it. King Attila has already pillaged and burned dozens of planets with none legion with the ability to cease him or maybe sluggish him down. And regrettably for Rome - Kerka, the Hun's goddess of chaos herself - is again. however the Gods have a flavor for tragedy: Kerka has been reincarnated within the physique of Flavia Aetia, a tender Roman woman. Is Flavia actually this macabre divinity? Is she the derivative of a terrifying plot? Or is she in simple terms the sufferer of a negative future? A unfastened variation of Hun king Attila and the Roman common Flavius Aetius's war of words, SCOURGE OF THE GODS replays the everlasting fight among order and chaos at the galactic point. midway among sci-fi and heroic myth, the large epic fresco broadcasts vintage grandeur in addition to the barbarism that lies in our destiny.
