Summary
The first book in the bestselling Conqueror series featuring Genghis Khan and his descendants.
'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 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. It was during some of his worst times that the image of uniting the warring tribes and bringing the silver people together came to him. He will become the khan of the sea of grass, Genghis.

Excellent writing, excellent performance. Conn Iguldunn always writes excellent historical fiction and this does not disappoint. Great to finally hear a less biased narrative on Ghengis

Beautifully narrated.
The story of Genghis Khan is incredible and this novel is based on what is known of the founder of Mongolia. It is well written and superbly narrated.
A very enjoyable read.

Brilliant story of Genghis Khans rise to power
Great book and series, I'm on my second reading/listening. I thought the narrator did a really good job. If I was really nitpicking about the performance, with headphones you can hear pages turning, and the narrator stifling burps a few times. Also the way he pronounced grimaced bothered me more than it had any right to do.

Brilliant story, great narrative, Game of Thrones without the dragons. Conn has a unique gift, I wish Audible was around when I was at school, I would be a history professor by now.

A friend recommended the Eagle and Wolf series to me. I wasn't sure if the Wolf series would be of interest to me but I was wrong. The story is excellent and the character's is fascinating. Can't wait for the next one.
