Kingdoms are
built by men. Legacies are built by emperors. It is 1025 ad. The mighty chola
empire that controls much of southern bharatvarsha is helmed by emperor
rajendra chola i – a man as enigmatic as his kingdom is renowned. Known for his
might and vision, he has now set his sights upon the southern seas, governed by
the powerful srivijaya empire. But his victories also bring forth stories of
those affected by his ambition. Of an unnamed princess forced to fend for
herself among enemies after everything she has ever known is destroyed by the
ravaging chola forces. Of maharaja sangrama, captive in an alien land, who is
torn between his enmity tempered by an unusual friendship with the elusive
rajendra chola and his fierce determination to return to his kingdom. Told
through the eyes of a prisoner of war and a princess without a kingdom, the
conqueror is a magnificent narrative – of war and conquest, of loss and death,
of kingship and legacy.
