EMPIRE OF SILVER

Book ID/图书代码： 01160011B44287

English Summary/英文概要： Genghis Khan is dead, but his legend and his legacy live on.

Two long years after the death of their leader, Genghis Khan, his great armies have gathered in the city of Karakorum to give their oath to his son and heir, Ogedai. The nation has a new khan at last.

But known only to himself, Ogedai’s heart is weak. Karakorum is his tomb and he hardly expected to live long enough to become khan. He cannot kill his brother and enemy Chagatai, as there must be one strong enough to rule when Ogedai’s heart gives out. Instead, he gives him a khanate of the west, gifting the ancestral homelands to his younger brother Tolui. Ogedai then sets out on his one and only campaign: to finish Genghis’ task of annihilating the Chin empire.

Meanwhile, the great leader Tsubodai sweeps into the west: through Russia, over the Carpathian mountains and into Hungary. He splits his forces into three, so that no reinforcements can come from north or south as he drives on west. Poland is sacked in the north, Serbia in the south. At the moment of Tsubodai’s greatest triumph, as his furthest scouts reach the northern mountains of Italy, tragic news from Karakorum reaches them. The khan’s heir, who rides with Tsubodai, must make a decision that will change the course of history forever.
