At Genghis Khan’s birth divine signs indicated he would consolidate the scattered Mongol clans into one nation and become the conqueror who ensured that the Empire of Mongolia ruled the world. By 1224, he had founded the Empire of Mongolia, a nation that stretched from the Pacific to Caspian Sea. Genghis Khan’s fearsome reputation of being a ruthless invader preceded him.
Yet one of his captives taken from the land of the Indus river holds a mysterious power over the tyrant.
What gives her this power? Does she know a secret that compels the formidable emperor to reveal his mortality? Is her magical spell strong enough to make it into a weapon that can bring the Khan to his knees?
