After assembling a core of these "men scorned by all the others," Temujin begins raiding Tartar camps.
Left behind without resources when the tribe migrates, the family struggles to survive the harsh environment, and Temujin dreams of gathering similar outcasts-wanderers and herdsmen-into a new tribe. When his father is killed by Tartar raiders before Temujin reaches manhood, a rival claims the tribe and banishes Temujin's family. Future conqueror Temujin-"a man of iron"-is born to the khan (ruler) of a fierce Mongol tribe that roams central Asia's steppes in the 12th century. Author of the bestselling Emperor series on the life of Julius Caesar, Iggulden turns to another of history's great conquerors, Genghis Khan, for a new series of brilliantly imagined and addictive historical fiction.
