BROTHERS AT WAR

THE SECOND ENTHRALLING INSTALLMENT IN ALEX RUTHERFORD'S EMPIRE OF THE MOGHUL SERIES. 1530, AGRA, NORTHERN INDIA. HUMAYUN, THE NEWLY-CROWNED SECOND MOGHUL EMPEROR, IS A FORTUNATE MAN. HIS FATHER, BABUR, HAS BEQUEATHED HIM WEALTH, GLORY AND AN EMPIRE WHICH STRETCHES A THOUSAND MILES SOUTH FROM THE KHYBER PASS; HE MUST NOW BUILD ON HIS LEGACY, AND MAKE THE MOGHULS WORTHY OF THEIR FOREBEAR, TAMBURLAINE. BUT, UNBEKNOWNST TO HIM, HUMAYUN IS ALREADY IN GRAVE DANGER. 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. PERHAPS THEY ARE RIGHT. 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.
