Sinopse

The first book in The Conqueror series, The Wolf of the Plains, is a reconstruction of the saga of Genghis Khan and his descendants. After delving into the world of Ancient Rome with The Emperor series, Conn Iggulden—a great revelation in British historical fiction—guides you on a thrilling journey through the conquests of Genghis Khan and his descendants. The great Mongol leader is brought to life and flesh by Iggulden in a new collection called The Conqueror. The first volume, The Wolf of the Plains, follows Temujin's childhood until he becomes the young commander who would make his name in history. Temujin, the second son of the Wolf Chief, was only eleven years old when his father died in an ambush. The family was expelled from the tribe and left alone, without food or shelter, to starve to death on the harsh plains of Mongolia. It was a harsh introduction to a sudden adult world, but Temujin survived, learning to combat threats both natural and human. Soon, a small army of stragglers joins Temujin, marking the beginning of a new tribal identity. Facing all dangers, the young leader comes to a conclusion that would change all of history: the greatest enemy was the division caused by centuries of war between tribes. To unite his people, Temujin would soon become Genghis Khan. The Wolf of the Plains offers vivid descriptions of battles and war strategies, interspersed with scenes from ordinary life at the time. Blending fiction and accurate historical research, Iggulden manages to create a plot full of twists and turns and imbued with emotion. "It feels like a blockbuster...
