In the year 1218 A.D., Khwarazm was a flourishing kingdom of culture, trade and wealth. Not even the neighboring empire of the Abbasid Caliphate could challenge it. Through its lands pass the routes of the legendary Silk Road where the great cities of Samarkand and Bokhara thrived. Over this mighty kingdom ruled the Shah Mohammed, Sultan Ala ad Deen and his Queen Mother, Terken Qatun. From their palace at Afrasiab in the city of Samarkand, the Sultan, his Queen Mother and two children, the Princess Aisha and Prince Jalal, spent their days in luxury and culture. Days that were fated to change.

Greed and arrogance, jealousy and fear invariably lead to lapses in judgment or perhaps, clarity of mind. Whatever the reasons, distinct but related events ignite a powderkeg that brings the hordes of Cinggis Qan like a jada out of the high steppes of Central Asia. Soon, the beautiful Princess Aisha, her love, Qafar of the Shahs Imperial Guard and her brother, Prince Jalal find themselves swept up in a whirlpool of blood and intrigue that threatens not only the love of the Princess and Qafar but the very survival of the kingdom of Khwarazm as well.
