In winter of 515 AD, under the Altai Mountains' shadow, the Ashina Türks endure the oppression of Rouran rule. As tax collectors demand tribute—horses, men, and dignity—young Bumin witnesses his father reduced to subservience, questioning if his clan are mere slaves.


On a cold night, carried by the wind, change is in the air as his mother, Ay Hatun, shares a transformative story. From the ruins of a lost civilization to the mystical cave where Gök Börü, the Blue Wolf of Tengri, saved the last Turk, this legend ignites a revolution within Bumin.


A tale of loss, renewal, divine wolves, and courage, revealing that a Turk child's destiny was never slavery but the hunt of a wolf biding its time.
