Ariq joined the rebel cause when he was very young, but when they began to kill innocents, Ariq turned his back on the rebels, even though he had worked his way up in the ranks. His mother was a spy for the rebels who sought to overthrow the khagan, but her identity was discovered and she was executed by his father's successor when Ariq was a child. Ariq's roots are in the Horde Empire (aka Golden Empire), where he was born to a courtesan in the court of Qajigin Khan (the former khagan, who is Ariq's biological father). In this oversize novel (567 pages), the author tells the love story of Ariq and Zenobia, a tale filled with adventure, danger, and diabolical villains.
