Wolf of the Plains

Front Cover
HarperCollins, 2007 - Fiction - 458 pages
This is the brand new 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.
