—Nicholas Nicastro, author of Empire of Ashes

“A swift and exciting book that brings to new life a story that history had nearly forgotten.”

“A historical novel filled with authentic historical characters that give the readers a glimpse into the savagery and ruthless ambition of the Moghul rulers.”

—Deseret News
