(Author)
Description
Already an international bestseller, A Kingdom Divided continues the epic story of the Moghuls, one of the most magnificent and violent dynasties in world history.
India, 1530. Humayun, the newly crowned second Moghul emperor, is a fortunate man. His father has left him wealth, glory, and an empire that stretches a thousand miles south of the Khyber Pass. But, unbeknownst to him, his half-brothers are plotting against him. They doubt that he has the strength, the will, the brutality needed to command the Moghul armies and lead them to still-greater glories. Soon Humayun will be locked in a terrible battle: not only for his crown, not only for his life, but for the existence of the very empire itself.Product Details

Reviews
"A perfect summer read--fast paced and completely absorbing" --City A.M. (UK)
"A roaring landslide of an historical epic full of the red-hot heat of battle and the blackout of treachery, with a cast of characters to die for." --The Northern Echo (UK) "The hand-to-hand combat pulsates with heroic vigor and plentiful gore, sure to entertain fans, and the climax paves the way for the next epic entry." --Publishers Weekly "Literally packed with the stuff of lengend--bloody battles, brutal killings, and treachery--this is a turbulent and timeless story told with gripping reality and epic scope." --Lancashire Evening Post (UK)
