Aurangzeb rules after defeating his brothers and imprisoning his father, but victory leaves him surrounded by suspicion. Determined to restore the empire to what he regards as the true path, he extends military campaigns and imposes a stricter vision of kingship while questioning the loyalty of commanders, courtiers and members of his own family.
As the years pass, rebellion and war consume increasing resources and the emperor’s sons repeat the rivalries of earlier generations. Memories of Mumtaz Mahal, Shah Jahan and the brothers he destroyed undermine Aurangzeb’s certainty that necessity justified every act. The final volume examines the isolation of absolute power and the fractures concealed beneath imperial expansion.
