The Qian

Can a beautiful, fiercely independent young woman resist Genghis Khan and the stampeding Mongol army? Like all of her sister-students in The Qian, Junchin is clad in rags of sewn-together scraps harvested from the torn, bloodied clothes of fallen – brave soldiers who fought heroically to protect their beleaguered homeland. Though tattered and hungry, Junchin must now combine with the Shield Brethren and somehow summon the strength and ingenuity to combat the world’s most powerful and cruelly efficient military force. From critically acclaimed author Aric Davis comes a devastating portrait of courage and daring set on the killing fields of Eurasia in the 13 th century.
