You are Yusuf ibn Harun, one of the Caliph’s last guardsmen.

February 1258. The Mongols are sacking Baghdad. Cross the burning city with sword and shield to save its books, its people and your friend Hamid.

    Save who you can

    Baghdad burns street by street. Its people, its books and your friend Hamid are somewhere in the fire.

  3. Toqto Noyan glows red as he strikes at Yusuf: the sign to roll.
