Book Summary of Empire of the Moghul: The Tainted Throne
The brutal battle for power continues in the fourth book in the epic Empire of the Moghul
series. Agra, India, 1606. Jahangir, the triumphant Moghul Emperor and
ruler of most of the Indian subcontinent, is doomed. No amount of wealth
and ruthlessness can protect him from his sons' desire for power. The
glorious Moghul throne is worth any amount of bloodshed and betrayal;
once Jahangir raised troops against his own father; now he faces a
bloody battle with Khurram, the ablest of his warring sons. Worse is to
come. Just as the heirs of Timur the Great share intelligence, physical
strength and utter ruthlessness, they also have a great weakness for
wine and opium. Once Jahangir is tempted, his talented wife, Mehrunissa,
is only too willing to take up the reins of empire. And with Khurram
and his half-brothers each still determined to be their father's heir,
the savage battle for the Moghul throne will be more ferocious than even
Timur could have imagined.
