Sinopse

Temujin of the Wolves, the boy born from the plains of Central Asia, introduced to the public in The Wolf of the Plains and Lords of the Bow, became Genghis Khan, the powerful leader of a nation born from the union of rival tribes, and a victorious warrior in the long war against the Chin. Now the enemy emerges from the western plains of Mongolia. Their caravans are driven back, their emissaries are killed or mutilated, and their attempts at negotiation are repelled. Thus, Genghis and his armies, led by his sons and brothers, embark on a great journey through present-day Iran and Iraq and along the Mediterranean coast. Conquering city after city, empire after empire, through war, fear, and persuasion, Mongol power dominates the entire region. The great khan built an empire greater than any other man. During these campaigns, his sons and brothers vied for favoritism—the right to lead the most successful of his armies and achieve the greatest conquests—in order to be chosen as his successor. Genghis has already proven himself a great warrior. Now, his challenge is to prove himself an exceptional ruler and leader for his people, someone who can coordinate their succession smoothly. His strategy—discovering new territories, exacting tribute from conquered peoples, and devastating resisting cities—is a way to dispel rivalries among the heirs and help determine who will be the next khan. From the fertile lands of the Chin to the arid rocks of Afghanistan, blending fiction and accurate historical research, Iggulden weaves a fascinating epic about history's most enigmatic conqueror, those who feared him, those who defied him, and those whose bones he left behind.
