    About the book: year / He was born under unusual circumstances: some considered it a bad sign, while others predicted that death would be his faithful companion and he would become a great warrior. The betrayal of those he trusted almost cost him his life and infected his soul with a thirst for revenge, and suffering hardened his body. He did not bow to anyone, did not succumb to fear or weakness. He did not care about wealth or booty - only power. He created an empire that stretched from the banks of the Danube to the Pacific Ocean. His name was Genghis Khan. For centuries, Mongol tribes fought with each other. But in the year of Fire and the Tiger, a leader appeared who united the warring clans. He sent the people of the steppes to battle with an external enemy - a powerful empire with beautiful cities, deep rivers and blooming gardens. He led his warriors to glory across the great Gobi Desert and China was conquered and the Qing Empire fell. His name was Genghis Khan. He was born in the year of Fire and Tiger. His birth under unusual circumstances indicated that death would be his faithful companion and he would become a great warrior. And he fulfilled the prophecy. He inspired his people to fight and led them to glory through the great desert and mighty mountains. The conquered peoples bowed before him. Half the world lay at his feet. And now a problem arose - he must choose an heir, a person capable of preserving his power and fulfilling his dream: to make a trip to the last sea. It's been three years since Genghis Khan died, but his legacy lives on. The son of the great conqueror Ogedei took the Khan's banner into his hands. As a sign of his power, he built the white city of Karakorum - the capital of the new empire. A huge silver tree - a symbol of prosperity and power - was installed by Ogedei at the entrance to his palace. But it is unusual for his dashing warriors to live in peace for so long, without military campaigns. And he sent a huge army led by the best military leader far to the west, to the last sea. Having conquered half the continent, the Mongolian tumens victoriously reached the borders of France and Italy. It seems that no one and nothing can hold them back. And then an event occurs that radically changes the fate of the silver empire - and the entire world history... Apparently, the family of the great Genghis Khan is cursed, for there is no peace in his empire - and no peace between his descendants. And less than a decade has passed since the death of the Great Khan Ogedei, and the memorial service has already mourned his son, Khan Guyuk. And the rest of the grandchildren of the great conqueror began to tear apart the huge Genghis ulus, like wolves - a fallen deer... The hour is not far when brother will go against brother, dreaming of one thing - the throne in Karakorum, and Genghis Khan’s plans to conquer the world will go to waste. But Genghisid was found, who stopped the collapse of the empire with an iron hand - and expanded it to the limits of what was possible. He was called differently - a sissy, a bookworm, and a traitor. But it was he who was to become the real heir of his grandfather.
