Genghis: Birth of an Empire

Genghis: Birth of an Empire

From the author of the bestselling The Dangerous Book for Boys
Â
He was born Temujin, the son of a khan, raised in a clan of hunters migrating across the rugged steppe. Temujinâ€™s young life was shaped by a series of brutal acts: the betrayal of his father by a neighboring tribe and the abandonment of his entire family, cruelly left to die on the harsh plain. But Temujin enduredâ€”and from that moment on, he was driven by a singular fury: to survive in the face of death, to kill before being killed, and to conquer enemies who could come without warning from beyond the horizon.

Through a series of courageous raids against the Tartars, Temujinâ€™s legend grew. And so did the challenges he facedâ€”from the machinations of a Chinese ambassador to the brutal abduction of his young wife, Borte. Blessed with ferocious courage, it was the young warriorâ€™s ability to learn, to imagine, and to judge the hearts of others that propelled him to greater and greater power. Until Temujin was chasing a vision: to unite many tribes into one, to make the earth tremble under the hoofbeats of a thousand warhorses, to subject unknown nations and even empires to his will.
