448 PagesAlready an international bestseller, A Kingdom Divided continues the epic story of the Moghuls, one of the most magnificent and violent dynasties in world history.

“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)
