Fusing historical events with a gripping fictional narrative, this initial reserve in the Mongoliad trilogy uncovers a secret background of Europe in the thirteenth hundred years. As the Mongols swept across Asia and were poised to invade European countries in 1241, a little music group of warriors, inheritors of a historical secret tradition, conceived a desperate plan to end the attack. They need to destroy the Khan of Khans; if indeed they fail, most of Christendom will become destroyed. In the late nineteenth hundred years a mysterious band of English fighting techinques aficionados offered Sir Richard F. Burton, well-known expert on exotic dialects and historic swordsmanship, a assortment of long-lost manuscripts to translate – the lost chronicles of the desperate fight to save Europe. Burton’s translations had been dropped, until a team of novice archaeologists discovered them in the ruins of the mansion in Trieste. Through the translations and from the original source material, the epic tale of The Mongoliad was recreated.
