The Mongols are regarded as the greatest conquerors in history: Genghis Khan's empire stretched from the eastern shore of the Mediterranean to the Pacific Ocean, including Far Eastern Europe, the Near East, the Middle East, Central Asia, the Russian steppes and part of Siberia as far as the Baltic Sea, northern India, Mongolia and the whole of China. That's more than 20% of the world's land! An unrivalled military tactician, Genghis Khan led a small army, but with the most gifted horsemen and archers, and the best strategists at the helm of his empire. These conquests were achieved at the cost of violent conquests, but at the end of the day, the establishment of the Pax Mongolia enabled unprecedented commercial, scientific and artistic exchanges, bridging the gap between East and West.  Genghis Khan guaranteed his people complete religious freedom, even though he practised shamanism. In fact, he included shamans in all his military campaigns, but called on them above all in the field of health: growth, care of the wounded, protection against the natural elements, but also beauty.  It is against this backdrop that we meet Alakhai Beki, daughter of Genghis Khan, worthy daughter of her father, woman and warrior.
