September 1241. Robert of Hadlow stands trial for abandoning the Templars and riding with the Mongol armies that have devastated Russia, Poland and Hungary. His accusers see apostasy and treason; Robert insists that he travelled east on a concealed mission intended to bring Mongol power to the defence of the Crusader States.
His account returns to the grasslands and deserts of Asia, where service to Genghis Khan demanded participation in campaigns of immense violence and a mastery of languages, intelligence and assassination. Love, family and loyalty complicate the purpose Robert claims to have served. The second volume asks whether a secret cause can justify the deaths and identities sacrificed to preserve it.
