Résumé

China - 1200 A.D. The Song Empire has been invaded from the north by its warlike Jurchen neighbours. Half its territory and its historic capital lie in enemy hands ; the peasants toil under the burden of the annual tribute demanded by the occupiers. Meanwhile, on the Mongolian steppes, a disparate nation of great warriors is about to be united by a warlord whose name will endure for eternity : Genghis Khan.
Guo Jing, son of a murdered Song patriot, grew up with Genghis Khan's army. He is humble, loyal, perhaps not altogether wise, and is fated from birth one day to confront an opponent who is the opposite of him in every way : privileged, cunning and perfectly trained in the martial arts. Guided by his faithful shifts, the Seven Heroes of the South, Guo Jing must return to China to fulfil his destiny.
But in a land riven by war and betrayal, his courage and his loyalties will be tested at every turn.
