Born into the ruins of Genghis Khan’s empire, Timur rose from a young Central Asian warrior to the ruler of a vast, feared army. In Part One, we follow his shifting alliances, his struggle for power in Transoxiana, and the campaigns that carried him across Persia and into India. His conquest mirrors that of Genghis Khan, except that he calls himself the 'Sword of Islam'. His conquest of Delhi reveals both his military brilliance and the terrible human cost of his ambition. Now Timur turns west, toward the Mamluks and the Ottoman sultan Bayezid.

Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos stands at the head of a dying empire, trapped behind the walls of Constantinople while Sultan Bayezid tightens his grip around the city. But the arrival of the legendary French knight Marshal Boucicaut gives the Romans one last chance to strike back. Together they take the war across the Bosphorus, raid the Ottoman coast, and finally bring an end to the bitter feud between Manuel and his nephew John VII. With Constantinople temporarily secure, Manuel makes an extraordinary decision: the Roman Emperor will leave his empire behind and travel personally into the West. From Venice and the courts of Italy to Paris and finally London, Manuel appeals directly to the kings of Europe for an army capable of saving Constantinople. He is welcomed with celebrations, gifts, promises, and all the ceremony befitting an emperor—but the soldiers never come. Then, just as Manuel begins to lose hope, astonishing news arrives from the East. Bayezid has abandoned the siege, marched into Anatolia, and confronted a conqueror even more terrifying than himself: Tamerlane.

But when the crusaders meet Sultan Bayezid outside the walls of Nicopolis, overconfidence and disunity turn triumph into disaster. Discover the story behind one of the last great crusades of the Middle Ages—and the man whose adventures were only just beginning.
