13. Jahrhundert: Eine kleine Gruppe von Kriegern und Mystikern greift zu ihren Schwertern, um Europa vor einer blutrünstigen Mongoleninvasion zu retten. Unter der Führung des Ältesten eines Ordens von Mönchskriegern begeben sie sich auf eine gefährliche Reise und stoßen auf Rätsel um verborgenes Wissen und Auseinandersetzungen zwischen mächtigen Geheimbünden, die seit Jahrtausenden die Geschehnisse der Welt maßgeblich beeinflussen. Auf Umwegen erreicht die Saga jedoch auch die moderne Welt: Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts kommt Sir Richard F. Burton, ein Experte für Fremdsprachen und historische Fechtkunst, in Kontakt mit einer geheimnisvollen Gruppe englischer Kampfsportkenner, die eine Sammlung lange verschollen gewesener Schriften übersetzen wollen. Burton stirbt, bevor er seine Arbeit beenden kann, und seine bis dahin vorliegenden Übersetzungen galten als verloren, bis sie unlängst von einigen Hobbyarchäologen in den Ruinen einer Villa im italienischen Triest entdeckt wurden. Aus dieser Sammlung alter Dokumente wurde die unglaubliche Geschichte der Mongoliade rekonstruiert.

With the death of the fearsome Ogedei Khan, the Mongol invasion of the West has been brought to an abrupt halt. The defenders, a band of brave warrior monks known as the Shield-Brethren, limp homeward again across a frozen, bloodied wasteland. But where--and what--is "home" now that the threat of invasion no longer shapes their lives? Thirteenth-century Europe has been saved from annihilation at the hands of the Mongols, to be sure, but new and terrible threats are at hand: political and religious turmoil threaten to turn the warriors' world upside down once more. Painted against a rich backdrop of medieval mysticism and Russian folklore, Katabasis weaves together the tales of victor and victim alike in a fearless exploration of what it means not just to survive, but to truly live again.
