He was born in the year of Fire and Tiger. His birth under unusual circumstances indicated that death would be his faithful companion and he would become a great warrior. And he fulfilled the prophecy. He inspired his people to fight and led them to glory through the great desert and mighty mountains. The conquered peoples bowed before him. Half the world lay at his feet. His name was Genghis Khan. And this novel is about the most difficult decision of his life. He must choose an heir, a person capable of preserving his power and fulfilling his dream: to make a trip to the last sea. Conn Iggulden is a recognized master of the historical novel. His cycle “Emperor” about the life of the great Julius Caesar is a brilliant confirmation of this. For the first time in Russian!
