A kingdom built on ambition, tested by war, and remembered for centuries. Discover the extraordinary story of Lan Xang, the ancient Lao kingdom that shaped the history of Southeast Asia.What does it take to unite divided territories into a powerful kingdom? And what happens when royal ambition, political rivalries, and powerful neighbors threaten to tear it apart?
In Lan Xang: The Rise, Fall, and Legacy of the Ancient Lao Kingdom, Spencer Savage takes you into a remarkable period of history filled with conquest, royal struggles, religious devotion, and the fight to preserve independence.
Follow the journey of Fa Ngum, the ambitious founder who united scattered principalities under the banner of a million elephants. Discover how later rulers strengthened the kingdom, how Buddhism shaped its identity, and how conflicts with neighboring powers challenged its survival.

• The political world that existed before Lan Xang's founding
• Fa Ngum's rise and the creation of a powerful Lao kingdom
• The kings, rivalries, and succession struggles that shaped its destiny
• The relocation of the capital to Vientiane and the growing Burmese threat
