On the wind-swept steppes of Mongolia in the thirteenth century,
a princess was given the chance to rule. She took lands that had
been ruined by war and made them wealthy again, brought mutual
respect and cooperation to a downtrodden and distrustful people,
and in a battle of wits that was like a giant chess game, won for
her sons the imperial throne. This is the story of Sorghaghtani,
a real and remarkable princess who handed her sons the largest
empire in the world.
