About this book
The valley was green for seven days. Then Kongurbay's smoke closed from the north and Joloy mirrored from the west, while Afghan envoys demanded the khan march south. Manas chose both roads at once—and lost the only war that counts.
Semetei is born in siege. Manas wins the Afghan alliance and races home too late to hold the lip alone. At Talas, he kills Joloy and falls to Kongurbay's lance. Kanykei orders a false name carved on the burial dome. Almambet brings the body home. Bakai sings the heir who has not yet walked.
The Dome of Manas completes the trilogy: civil war, widow's arithmetic, and exile toward Samarkand with an infant who does not yet know he is a legend's son. Mythic historical fiction from the Kyrgyz Epic of Manas.
