This is the novel from the No.1 best-selling author of "Emperor", his series on Julius Caesar.
His new novel, "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 he was 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.
A man without a tribe was at great risk, so the young boy abandoned with his siblings on the
harsh Mongolian plains had to struggle to avoid death. He survived both starvation and hostile
attacks by learning remarkable leadership skills and gathering a group of outsiders like
himself. Hunted and alone, he dreamed of uniting the tribes into one house, one nation.
He became a great warrior. He would become father to his people. He would be Genghis Khan.
