He was nine years old. He was afraid of dogs. He would become the most feared conqueror the world has ever known.
In 1171, on the frozen Mongolian steppe, a boy named Temüjin stands paralyzed with fear as mastiffs circle his horse. Within days, his father will be dead-poisoned by enemies-and his entire clan will abandon his family to starve. The message carved into wood is clear: The deep water has dried up. The bright stone has crumbled. What use are the widow and her cubs?
But the wolves of the steppe are about to learn a terrible lesson. The frightened boy who couldn't meet a dog's eyes is keeping a list. And he never forgets.
From the wild garlic years of desperate survival to the blood-soaked plains of Dalan Balzhut, from the burning libraries of Bukhara to the final mysteries of a hidden grave, The Chronicles of the Wolf traces the forging of history's most unlikely emperor. This is not the legend. This is the truth beneath it-the price of greatness measured in the mathematics of survival, the currency of betrayal, and the terrible cost of building an empire from nothing.
A chief is just a man that other men have not yet killed.
In this sweeping historical thriller, debut novelist Robert delivers a Temüjin you've never encountered: a boy who learned that fear could be conquered but never forgotten, that mercy was a luxury the desperate couldn't afford, and that the hungry wolves-when they finally learned to run together-would devour the world.
Some children who have nothing grow up to take everything. This is the story of the first. The greatest. The one they would call Genghis Khan.
