Colin Falconer's bestselling historical adventure, brought to life by Philip Stevens.
A Templar knight. A fearless Mongol princess. A mission that could change history. Some journeys change the traveller. This one could change the world.
Holy Land, 1260 Josseran Sarrazini is a Templar knight with nothing left to lose. Sent by the Pope on a mission beyond the edges of the known world, he must cross the perilous Silk Road and reach the court of Kublai Khan. The journey is impossibly dangerous. That suits Josseran just fine. But only days into the trek, he finds himself responsible for an irascible priest whose survival depends entirely upon him. And far to the east waits Khutelun, the fearless daughter of a Mongol chieftain. Raised in the saddle and trained to fight, she has no intention of allowing any man to command her. Until she meets Josseran. Together they face searing deserts, treacherous mountain passes, kidnappers, blood feuds and an empire unlike anything they have ever known. Their destination is the fabled city of Xanadu and the court of the great Kublai Khan. But survival may not be enough. Because what awaits them at journey's end could change the fate of empires. A sweeping historical adventure of courage, danger, romance and betrayal across the greatest overland journey in history. Perfect for listeners who love epic historical adventures, unforgettable characters, exotic worlds and stories of empires, war and survival.
