Genghis: Birth of an Empire - (Khan Dynasty) by Conn Iggulden (Paperback)

Genghis: Birth of an Empire by Conn Iggulden is a historical fiction novel that brings to life the story of Temujin, the son of a khan who was born into a clan of hunters on the rugged steppe.

Despite facing abandonment and betrayal, Temujin endured and grew in courage and determination, driven by a singular fury: to survive in the face of death, to kill before being killed, and to conquer enemies who could come without warning from beyond the horizon.

Through a series of raids, his legend grew until he united many tribes into one and made the earth tremble under the hoofbeats of a thousand warhorses.

This epic novel races along swiftly and inexorably as its main character, with accurate research and believable characters from very different cultures whose motivation rings true across the centuries.

Brilliantly imagined and addictive, this is historical fiction writ large.
