A child is born in an ancient distant land, celebrated by the shamen
Ozbeg who senses the spirit of greatness inside him. This boy, Temudjin,
must be guided to listen to the voices of nature around him, for one
day, he will lead the Mongol clans to glory as the great Genghis Khan.
A lush, lyrical, almost operatic fable speculating on the youth of the
first Great Khan of the Mongol Empire. Filled with mysticism and surreal
visions, this grand epic takes on a fantasy quality lightly infused with
just enough nuggets of history to set in time. Torn between a destiny he
is told to have and a life he would otherwise chose for himself, the
mind of a legendary warlord is laid bare to readers in a cinematic and
poetic narrative breathtakingly illustrated by Antoine Carrion.
