Manduchai Die letzte Kriegerkönigin

Asia in the 15th century: In a time dominated by men, two women strive for power. The history of China and Mongolia was shaped by them: Manduchai, Queen of the Mongols, and Wan, the true ruler on the Dragon Throne. They are the most powerful rulers of their time - at a high cost: Manduchai must fight against immense resistance to rise to the top of the Mongol armies. Her most dangerous rival is, ironically, her great love. Yet she succeeds, leading Genghis Khan's people back to their former glory. Wan was initially the wet nurse of the Chinese emperor, then his lover, before rising to the rank of imperial concubine and becoming the true ruler of China. Nevertheless, she had to fight daily for the emperor's favor against eunuchs, ministers, warlords, and young beautiful rivals. It is only in Manduchai that she recognizes her true strength.
