Empire of the Moghul Collection (Set of 4 Books) gives readers a peek into the lives, battles, schemes, innermost thoughts, desires and feelings of four great rulers belonging to the Moghul dynasty. Each title in the collection is a must-read for the way it brings to life various personalities of the Moghul empire.

Summary Of The Book

The Moghuls, who raided and ruled India for as many as 200 years, were a clan famous for their opulence, glamour and power. The first among the Moghul kings to sweep down from the sands of Central Asia and into North India was Babur, who founded a mighty Empire in the land of Aryans in 1525. After Babur, his son Humayun ascended the throne, who unfortunately led a very doomed life that saw him battling with his own kith and kin, time and again. At the right time, Humayun gave up his throne to Akbar, a charismatic yet merciless leader who is considered as Akbar the Great, the Greatest Moghul to ever live. Jahangir then succeeded Akbar to the throne and with him the bloodthirsty Moghul Dynasty began seeing the end of its authoritative days.

It is this story of four mighty Moghul kings who ruled India ruthlessly and contributed immensely to her rich history that has been chronologically chronicled in the collection Empire Of The Moghul Collection (Set Of 4 Books). This combination book pack comprises of four widely read titles by Alex Rutherford namely, Raiders from the North, Brothers at War, Ruler of the World and The Tainted Throne.

Each of these titles tells the story of one of the Moghul kings, his methods of ruling, the battles he fought and won, the schemes he planned to keep his dynasty going and how much he contributed to expanding the Moghul dynasty in India. In relating the story of Moghul kings, which is a much-delved-into topic in history books, Rutherford has not just provided prosaic information. Instead, the author has written the stories in such a manner that the characters in each book become life-like and compel the readers to take a peep into their innermost desires, feelings and thoughts.

Milky-white marbles, rose-tinted sandstones, scheming rulers, extreme wealth and all, Empire Of The Moghul Collection (Set Of 4 Books) is a must-read for all those enchanted by the mighty Moghuls. The series has received much critical and commercial acclaim in India and is regarded as a bestseller.
