About the Author: Alex Rutherford
English husband and wife team Michael and Diana Preston are ‘Alex Rutherford’. They both studied at Oxford University before meeting each other while both working for the British Civil Service. Sharing a love of travel and far-flung places, they took time out to travel around the world – a decision they regretted only once when stranded on a remote island off the coast of Borneo and forced to hide from pirates! They've since drawn on their travels and interest in history to write historical non-fiction, for which they've won awards. Diana and Mike's great interests are the Moghuls and this, their first work of historical fiction, is the result of many years of research.
