The Iron Horse of the Wasteland: From Mercenary to General

As Genghis Khan's iron hooves criss-cross Asia and Europe, one exiled knight makes a fate-changing choice. Ruthe Ivanovich, a battle-hardened mercenary leader, won the favour of the Mongol Prince Batu for his tactical acumen and martial prowess, and transformed himself from a penniless warrior into a Mongol cavalry commander who conquered Europe.

He overthrew his homeland with his own hands, and led the Mongol cavalry to level the plains of Hungary. Ruthe carved his own legend in history with blood and tactics. When he stood on the battlefield of Mossi, commanding 3,000 elite soldiers to crush Europe's most powerful legion of knights to pieces, he was no longer the exiled warrior of Rus, but the Mongol Batul who made the entire Western world tremble.

This is an epic of strength and loyalty, betrayal and rebirth, revealing how one man seized the opportunity in a time of colliding empires to rise above the fray and ultimately become a legendary general across Eurasia. Follow Ruthe's iron horse on this journey of conquest that changed the landscape of the world.
