The epic conclusion to Stephen Aryan's The Nightingale and the Falcon trilogy, a bloody and magical reimagining of the Mongolian Empire's invasion of Persia. Embued with a new, ancient power, Temujin Khan holds all the cards. His father, the once great Hulagu, has now been reduced to a prisoner in a war he hoped to be the victor of. His youngest wife, the Blue Princess Kokochin has stepped into her own power, and seeks to find order and peace in a world she has never known... Rippling in the heart of a bloody war, the Mongol Invasion comes to a standstill. But who will emerge triumphant in a world of conquerors?
