About the Book:

The Jhelum Betrayal is the sequel to the award winning ‘Daggers Of Treason’, and unravels the dark secrets of Jahangir’s reign, dominated by the guile of Empress Nurjahan, and the rise, fall and resurrection of Prince Khurram as emperor Shahjahan. The specter of a disguised Anarkali haunts the reign of emperor Jahangir and the Mughal Kingdom, fostering death and treason in its wake, as emperor Jahangir is kidnapped by his own general – an interesting and factually true historical fact. This volume is steeped in the glory of a Mughal Court and besieged with the fear of sedition and rebellion amongst the royals, who treat every hour as a march towards ‘Takht Ya Taboot!’

‘The Throne’ is for one … ‘the coffin’ lures many!

This historical fiction brings alive the royals, courtiers, battlefields and the groaning forts as we travel with Khurram Shahjahan ‘Be-daulat’ in his quest to regain the royal affection of his father, manipulated and sedated by Empress Nurjahan and the treacherous court.

A riveting read, the Jhelum Betrayal explodes with an uncanny insight into the steaming cauldron of sex, greed, fratricide, opulence and the drama of the Great Mughals.
