The Asding Vandals were an insignificant Germanic tribe with an undistinguished military record who lost most of their battles. Somehow this small tribe not only survived a great migration from modern day Hungary to Africa but also created a Mediterranean kingdom so powerful it could sack Rome. Few books or films feature the Vandals as the key catalyst in the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Yet if one man can be held responsible for the fall of Rome then the Vandal King Gaeseric would be the choice of many historians.

This second book in the series begins with the Vandals and Alans crossing the Rhine on New Year's Day 407 CE and devastating the city of Mongontiacum (Mainz). The chaos of a Roman civil war allows the Vandals and Alans to initially settle in Belgica, northwest Gaul (France). Some of their warriors are recruited to the army of Gerontius, a Romano-Briton general serving the usurper emperor Constantine. When Gerontius breaks with Constantine he promises land in Hispania (Spain) in return for the total support of the Vandal and Alan forces in Belgica. Thus, the rampage through Gaul began. The Vandals and Alans swept south through an unprotected Aquitaine, sacking the city of Burdigala (Bordeaux) on the way, leaving a trail of destruction behind them and eventually crossing the Pyrenees in autumn 409.
