| Summary | "Attila: A Romance. Vol. II." by G. P. R. James is a historical novel likely written in the early 19th century. This work delves into the tumultuous life of Attila the Hun, exploring themes of power, vengeance, and kinship. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the Huns' interactions with the Roman Empire, highlighting Attila's relationships, notably with his brother Bleda and young Roman Theodore, as they navigate the dangerous political landscapes shaping their destinies. The opening of the novel reveals a scene of intrigue and impending conflict, focusing on Attila's quest for vengeance against those who threaten his kin. Following the death of a freedman, Attila debates the moral implications of avenging his allies and ultimately decides to confront his brother Bleda, suspecting treachery. As tensions rise and betrayals surface, Attila's dark resolve comes to light, setting the stage for deeper explorations of familial loyalty and the cruel pragmatism inherent in leadership. The complexity of Attila’s character unfolds, illustrating the struggles between his duties as a monarch and the personal conflicts that arise from blood ties, while also introducing Theodore, whose journey is intertwined with the fates of both brothers.
