Book
The Mongoliad: Book 2
First published 2012
The Shield-Brethren continue east through territory controlled by the Mongol Empire, divided between the need for secrecy and the violence required to reach Ögedei’s court. Cnán and the knights encounter allies and enemies whose loyalties are shaped by conquest, clan politics and the belief that Mongol victory has become inevitable.
In Rome, the deadlocked papal election draws soldiers, cardinals and secret societies into an increasingly dangerous contest. As the eastern mission approaches the khan’s domain, events in Europe reveal that saving Christendom requires political decisions as well as battlefield courage.
