Empire of the Moghul

by Alex Rutherford

1530, Agra, Northern India. Humayun, the second Moghul Emperor, is a fortunate man. His father, Babur, has bequeathed him wealth, glory and an empire which stretches a thousand miles; he must now build on his legacy, and make the Moghuls worthy of their forebear, Tamburlaine. But, unbeknownst to him, his half-brothers are plotting against him.
