Tamburlaine's Elephants (New Longman Literature)
Tamburlaine the Great is a powerful and brutal ruler. His fearless Mongol horde weeps through fourteenth century India, laying waste to everything in its path. When one of his young warriors, Rusti, rides into Delhi it is his first taste of war. In the aftermath of the bloody conquest, he captures an elephant and its rider, Kavi, but unexpectedly a powerful bond slowly forms with the boy prisoner, who should be his sworn enemy. His world is thrown into turmoil as a long-hidden secret is revealed which threatens to destroy his loyalties and question his place within the horde. |
