Two Thousand Leagues as the Seabird
These are the words of Khatan . . .
Exiled from the grasslands of his home, the soft-spoken Khatan is driven north into the violence of the endless, cyclical Long War; as khans and princes vie for the throne of an empire long dead.
But there is respite in the chaos: taken beneath the wing of Oman, charismatic warleader of the Empty Quiver, Khatan seems to have found the family - and love - that his wandering had denied him. As bannerman and khan, Stalking Wolf and Golden Leopard, the two strike out to carve their legend into the annals of the War.
Each new victory, though, and each rung on their climb to glory, seems to come at greater cost, and to strain the bonds both are so desperate to hold on to. And, as the Long War approaches its apocalyptic climax, signs appear that perhaps Khatan’s fate was never entirely his own . . .
Two Thousand Leagues as the Seabird is Khatan’s death-song.
It is the first book of the Created World.
