Synopses

Wolf of the Plains

The opening novel in the Conqueror series follows Temujin after his father is killed and his family are cast out, left without food or shelter on the Mongolian plains. As he endures hardship and danger, he begins to draw other outsiders to him and imagines a future in which the warring tribes are brought together under one identity. The story charts the early shaping of the leader who will become Genghis Khan.

Lords of the Bow

With the Mongol tribes finally united, Genghis Khan sets his sights on the Chin, facing vast distances, harsh terrain and unfamiliar fortifications. Alongside the demands of a formidable campaign, he must manage tensions among his generals, mediate rivalries within his own family and respond to the ambitions of his growing sons. The novel presents a leader learning to hold a nation together as it moves into new lands.

Bones of the Hill

Having forged a single nation from warring tribes and taken his armies against long-standing enemies, Genghis Khan turns his attention west as conflict escalates beyond the Mongolian plains. With emissaries attacked and diplomacy rejected, he divides his forces and sends his sons out as generals in simultaneous campaigns. Their actions become part of his judgement over succession, as rival heirs compete to prove themselves.

Empire of Silver

This volume returns to Genghis Khan at a moment when his united nation faces rising trouble to the west. After emissaries are mutilated or killed and trading gestures are rebuffed, he chooses to split his armies and deploy his sons as generals across multiple fronts. Conquest, resistance and the question of who will succeed him as khan sit at the centre of the narrative.

Conqeuror

Conn Iggulden turns to Kublai Khan, described here as a scholar and warrior whose rule reshaped history as he conquered vast territory. The novel follows his ambition for an empire stretching from sea to sea, and his need to master the art of war to build it. As his power grows, conflict within his own family leads to a bloody civil war.

The Field of Swords

The third volume in the Emperor series continues the dramatic account of Julius Caesar’s life, set against political opposition, corruption and rebellion. After the defeat of Spartacus, Caesar and Marcus Brutus return from Spain to challenge for power in Rome, even as their friendship begins to strain. Campaigns against the Gallic tribes and the pressures of ambition bring them towards the defining decision of whether to cross the Rubicon.

The Death of Kings

In the second Emperor novel, the young Caesar is forced to flee Rome and serves aboard a war galley in the Mediterranean, building a fearsome reputation. Captured by pirates and held to ransom, he survives captivity and begins gathering recruits to pursue vengeance and suppress an uprising in Greece. Returning to Rome, he is reunited with Brutus as a new crisis threatens the city in the form of Spartacus.

The Gates of Rome

This novel recreates Julius Caesar’s early life, moving between gladiatorial spectacle, Senate intrigue and the tensions that threaten to shake the Republic. An ambitious young man faces his first great test as Rome approaches a bloody conflict in which citizen will fight citizen. History and adventure are interwoven to set the stage for the Emperor sequence.

The Gods of War

The final volume of the Emperor series follows Caesar as he marches on Rome to unseat Pompey, now dictator of the Empire. Even after the city is taken, war continues across the Empire, with legions in Spain, Africa, Greece and Asia Minor remaining loyal to Pompey. The narrative ranges widely and brings together figures including Brutus, Mark Antony, Octavian, Cicero, Cleopatra and Ptolemy as the struggle for power reaches its conclusion.

The Blood of Gods

Set after Julius Caesar’s assassination, Rome is thrown into mourning and violence as the Liberatores seek refuge and the streets fill with unrest. Octavian, Caesar’s adopted son, allies with Mark Antony to pursue retribution against the conspirators, reserving particular hatred for Brutus. As the reckoning spreads beyond the city, the conflict moves towards the battlefield at Philippi.
