This is Alex Rutherford's second book in his "Empire of the Moghul" series. This story follows the rise and fall of Humayan, son of the founder of one of the most powerful dynasties in Indian history.
Humayan has been given the empire by his father, but his brothers challenge him for it. The mother of his half brothers gets him befuddled on wine and opium. Humayan finds himself in a battle for his empire and his life. During this time he finds the love of his life, who provides him with a son. Together, accompanied by troops loyal to him, Humayan struggles to regain his empire, in battles not just against his brothers but other transgressors.
Well researched, it is a very good read I am sure that you will enjoy.
