Empire of Silver (The fourth book in the Conqueror series) In his spectacular novels about the life and legacy of Genghis Khan he has traced the path of the legendary conqueror from the harsh grasslands of his youth to the pinnacle of an unprecedented empire. Now even as they struggle for supremacy among themselves Genghis's sons and grandsons extend the reach of his vision taking their armies farther than ever before into southern China and across the steppes and rugged mountains of Russia to the vulnerable heart of Europe where they will face the most courageous warriors the West commands. Genghis's tough and canny heir Ogedai is on the verge of being proclaimed the new Khan. But Ogedai has mysteriously delayed his coronation ceremony to complete a fantastic project many deem a folly: the building of Karakorum a magnificent city amid the wild plains. His puzzling decision emboldens his arrogant brother Chagetai to violently challenge him while their noble sibling Tolui and his beautiful wily wife Sorhatani will be caught between the two. Chagetai's attempt at rebellion reveals shocking truths about Ogedai's health and imperiled future. As one brother awaits his fate another awaits his moment to seize power while spies and assassins play out the ambitions and destinies of their masters. --> Genre: Literary Fiction Historical
