Fatima, an elegant Persian captive, will transform her desire for revenge into an unbreakable loyalty. Their daughter, the fierce Alaqai, will ride and shoot an arrow as well as any man. Temujin will return and make Borte his queen, yet it will take many women to safeguard his fragile new kingdom. When she seeks comfort in the arms of aristocratic traveler Jamuka, she discovers he is the blood brother of Temujin, the man who agreed to marry her and then abandoned her long before they could wed. After her mother foretells an ominous future for her, gifted Borte becomes an outsider within her clan.
But it is the women who stand beside him who ensure his triumph. In the late twelfth century, across the sweeping Mongolian grasslands, brilliant, charismatic Temujin ascends to power, declaring himself the Great, or Genghis, Khan.
