Three hundred and sixty years ago, Lord Magellan devastated the Second World. Cities were destroyed. Civilizations died, and countless millions died before his invincible crusade. As quickly as he began, he stopped, leaving a vast portion of the Second World in ruin. For centuries, the people of Sunfall have lived in constant dread of the moment Magellan's rage exploded anew to destroy them all. That night has come. With the ancient monster active again, Guildshelm finds itself in a position of reluctant leadership as some nations turn to them for help - bringing their own intrigues and agendas with them. Meanwhile, Philosopher despairs over a shocking discovery, until a beautiful Timeless appears. Calling herself "Anastasia the Muse," she reveals surprising secrets about Philosopher's true past and the role he could play in the future. This is the second book in the Second World Chronicles, continuing the story begun in The Guildshelm Legacy.

This work, based on Persian and non-Persian sources, contemporary and later, is an impartial study of the rise and fall of the Nizam Shahi Kingdom of Ahmadnagar, founded in 1490 A.D., conquered by Shahjahan and annexed to the Mughal empire in 1636 A.D. From the very beginning, Nizam Shahis, struggled against the neighbouring states of the North, the Daccan and the South, the rising power of the Portuguese and then against the expansionist designs of the Mughal Emperors, to preserve the local cultural traditions, political independence and also to maintain balance of power between the imperial power of the North and independent states of the Daccan. In their struggle against the Mughals, they were supported by the Portuguese, and the states of Bijapur and Golkunda, by the Marathas and Abyssinians. For a while they successfully resisted the forward movement of the Mughal forces. A complete account of it has been given. Apart from the political achievements and failures of the Nizam Shahi kings, their cultural contributions and political institutions have been closely examined in proper perspective.
