Snare

In despair at the corruption of his ruler, the despotic Great Khan, Captain Idres Warkannon sets out on a perilous journey in search of a saviour: the Khan's long-lost younger brother. Despite the strictures of his religion, he depends on the guidance of a mysterious sorcerer to cross the vast plains of purple grass in safety. But the sorcerer, Soutan, is shadowed by a loyal member of the Great Khan's deadly secret service: Zayn Hassan has infiltrated a tribe of peace-loving nomads in order to carry out his spying mission. He certainly hasn't bargained for the simple pleasure of life on the plains, or the attractions of Ammadin, the tribe's fiercely independent spirit rider.
