Genghis has proved himself as a warrior and a leader. They face enemies as powerful and ancient as any they have known and the Khan's path will lead them either to victory or utter destruction. The nation must embark on its greatest journey, through present day Iran and Iraq, to the edges of India. Now trouble arises from another direction: his embassies to the west are rebuffed, his ambassadors murdered. Genghis Khan, powerful leader of a nation united from the tribes, is victorious in the long war against the Chin, the Mongolians' ancient foe. It focuses mainly on the Mongol invasion of Islamic Central Asia, the war against Shah Muhammad II of Khwarezm and his son Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu and the brutal massacres at Urgench and Merv. Bones of the Hills (known as Genghis: Bones of the Hills in America) is the third book of the Conqueror series, based on the life of Mongol gurkhan Genghis by Conn Iggulden.
