BOOK DESCRIPTION
Khutulun and the Silver Horse of the Steppes
The Princess Who Would Not Be Defeated
Twelve-year-old Saran Batsaikhan loves wrestling, winning and proving how strong she is. But when a school project asks her to name a remarkable woman from her own heritage, Saran suddenly discovers something embarrassing-she cannot name one.
Khutulun and the Silver Horse of the Steppes
The Princess Who Would Not Be Defeated
Twelve-year-old Saran Batsaikhan loves wrestling, winning and proving how strong she is. But when a school project asks her to name a remarkable woman from her own heritage, Saran suddenly discovers something embarrassing-she cannot name one.
Then her grandmother introduces her to Khutulun, the legendary thirteenth-century Mongol princess remembered for her extraordinary strength, horsemanship and wrestling.
That night, an old silver horse pendant comes alive.
TING-KIRR!
Before Saran can escape, she is swept across time and lands on the vast Central Asian steppe-where she meets Khutulun herself.
But something terrible is spreading across the land.
The mysterious White Silence is stealing names, songs and stories, threatening to erase Khutulun from memory. To stop it, Saran and Khutulun must uncover five powerful memories:
ROOT. COURAGE. WISDOM. COMPASSION. LEGACY.
Their adventure carries them through thundering horse rides, wrestling matches, family conflicts, ancient storytelling traditions and a battle against a terrifying enemy that cannot be defeated by strength alone.
Along the way, Saran discovers that Khutulun was more than an unbeatable wrestler. She was a daughter, rider, political figure and woman living within the complicated world of the thirteenth-century steppe.
And Saran learns something even more important:
True strength is not proving that nobody can defeat you.
It is knowing who you are when winning is no longer enough.
Blending history, adventure, humour, oral storytelling and mythology-inspired fantasy, Khutulun and the Silver Horse of the Steppes invites young readers to explore the difference between history and legend, celebrate cultural heritage and discover why every generation has a responsibility to remember.
Listen, children of the wide earth.
The wind remembers what people forget.
