From the No. 1 bestselling author of 'Emperor', 'Wolf of the Plains',
is the much anticipated beginning of the Conqueror series on Genghis
Khan and his descendants. It is a wonderful, epic story which Conn
Iggulden brings brilliantly to life.
'I am the land and the bones of the hills. I am the winter.'
Temujin, the second son of the khan of the Wolves tribe, was only
eleven when his father died in an ambush. His family were thrown out of
the tribe and left alone, without food or shelter, to starve to death on
the harsh Mongolian plains.
It was a rough introduction to his life, to a sudden adult world, but
Temujin survived, learning to combat natural and human threats. A man, a
small family, without a tribe was always at risk but he gathered other
outsiders to him, creating a new tribal identity. It was during some of
his worst times that the image of uniting the warring tribes and
bringing the silver people together came to him. He will become the khan
of the sea of grass, Genghis. 'Iggulden is in a class of his own when
it comes to epic, historical fiction' Daily Mirror

and the set dressing magnificent' The Times

bows and the call of war and the plains' Daily Express
