Ferghana, 1494. Twelve-year-old Babur inherits a vulnerable Central Asian kingdom and the burden of descent from Timur and Chagatai Khan. Rival princes, Uzbek armies and betrayal within his own household repeatedly strip him of territory, but defeat strengthens his determination to recover Samarkand and establish a realm worthy of his ancestors.
Driven south through Kabul and across the mountain passes, Babur turns towards India when his ambitions in Central Asia become impossible to sustain. The campaign culminates in the defeat of the Delhi Sultanate and the creation of a new imperial dynasty. The novel presents conquest through Babur’s resilience, appetite for glory and growing ability to hold a diverse army together.
