But the Golden Horde does not understand the power it is playing with. The crowns of these princes, when combined, form a dark, ancient magic that could create a monstrosity previously unknown to the world. Ivan has but one choice: fight or flight? The Golden Horde is the gripping final instalment of Prince Ivan’s Tales of Old Russia. An enthralling epic historical fantasy filled with twists and turns, former foes and burgeoning alliances.
