In a quest driven by divine voices, the Huns and Magyars pursue a mystical white stag across Europe. Their leader, Attila, guides them through epic challenges toward their promised homeland. As they sweep across the continent, the tribes face trials that test their resolve and unity. Will they find the land foretold by their gods, or will the journey consume them?

From the publisher
Winner of the Newbery Medal
For generations the tribes of Huns and Magyars had moved relentlessly westward, obeying the voices of their pagan gods, which compelled them to follow the elusive white stag to their promised homeland. They swept Europe, all the while pursuing their vision of the stag. Their leader was called Attila, and the land Hungary. Here is the epic story of their tribal migration and their fierce leader—known to us even today.
“The wonder of a fairy tale, the stirring romance of a heroic legend, rounded out with the color, atmosphere, and poetry of this artist’s retelling of the story of Attila.”—The New York Times
