Description
This is the story of the lives and lusts, ambitions and avarices, triumphs and defeats of the Moghuls, and five generations of the English family who witnessed and participated in it all.
In 1524 Sir Thomas Blunt and his young cousin reach Goa in search of the fabled kingdom of Prester John. Instead, they discover an exotic and capricious land whose wealth far exceeds their wildest dreams, and become involved with the ruling Moghuls. They join the armies of a descendant of Genghis Khan and help to conquer the cities of Delhi and Agra.
