In a sealed box uncovered in the ruins of a medieval castle, a manuscript is found....Hungary, 1241: The Golden Horde of the Mongol Khan is gathered at the border ready to strike.Told through the eyes of Detre, a knight of King Bela IV, Tatar Storm is the epic story of the invasion that followed, and the heroic Hungarian defence of the gates of Christendom.The historic events of the invasion at Verecke, the sack of Pest and Vác, the massacre of the Cumans, the Battle of Muhi, the destruction of the Knights Templars and more are interwoven with Detre''s own story, and the valour and love which lead him inexorably to the Castle of Göd, outnumbered and besieged on all sides by the merciless Tatar Foe."His majesty, Béla, as an act of piety, ordered that this box with its contents be put back in the cellar where it was found and buried as in a grave, then that the remains of castle Göd be demolished. Further, he forbade anyone from ever rebuilding it, so the heroic defenders may rest in peace. If, centuries from now, someone should find this chronicle then please give due reverence to these brave heroes of the past."In prose rich with period detail Tibor Gergely paints a vivid picture of harsh times when a Knight''s honour was valued more highly than life itself.
