This was the first book I've read by Stephen Aryan, and I'm kicking myself for not discovering him before now.
The Judas Blossom is an absolute masterpiece of greed, treachery, and rebellious uprising during the rise and fall of the Mongol Empire. Each of the primary characters has an agenda of their own, but the outcome is the same, free Persia.
I've always been drawn to this moment in history and added in a hint of fantasy? Yes, please!
I can't wait to see how the saga continues.
