He begins with the six daughters of Genghis Khan and traces their royal families through 250 years of upheaval as the empire tore itself apart, pitting brother against sister and son against mother. The refusal of these women to surrender created a sustained struggle between them and their male cousins in office in China, Russia, and Persia in a bloody drama that repeatedly crisscrossed the Eurasian continent. In this fascinating narrative from the bestselling author, a lost world and a remarkable family is brought to life."A fascinating romp through the feminine side of the infamous Khan clan" (Booklist) by the author featured in Echoes of the Empire- Beyond Genghis Khan"Enticing . . . hard to put down."-Associated PressThe Mongol queens of the thirteenth century ruled the largest empire the world has ever known.
