Perfect for you if...

You love historical fiction that treats adventure seriously, with real stakes and genuine period detail rather than costume drama.
You want a romance that develops through conflict and mutual respect, not instalove or simple attraction.
You enjoy sprawling journeys across exotic landscapes where the terrain itself becomes a character in the story.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer intimate, character-driven stories over large-scale plots and geographical scope.
You're looking for straightforward historical accuracy over narrative drama, or you need extensive author's notes and historical context.
You want slow-burn contemporary romance; this is medieval adventure with romantic tension, not a love story where romance drives the plot.

About this book

In 1260, Josseran Sarrazini, a Templar knight, is sent by the pope on a dangerous mission beyond the known world. He expects he may never return. Days into his journey, he struggles with his assigned companion, a sharp-tongued priest whose survival depends on him. Far to the east, Khutelun is the daughter of a Mongol chieftain, skilled in horseback riding and archery. When ordered to escort Christian ambassadors along the Silk Road, she encounters Josseran and finds herself matched against an unexpected equal. Together they traverse searing deserts, mountain passes, and face kidnappers and blood feuds on their way to Xanadu and the court of Kublai Khan. What they discover at their destination may alter the fate of empires. The novel combines elements of thriller, history, and adventure, featuring danger, action, and romance across a vividly imagined landscape.
