The Fall of an Empire: The final days of the Vijayanagara Kingdom ǀ A well-researched historical narrative on the Vijayanagara Empire after Krishnadevaraya by Abhijeeth Hiliyana, Abhijeeth Hiliyana

5.0

Abhijeeth Hiliyana's The Fall of an Empire masterfully concludes the Vijayanagara trilogy, skillfully navigating the complex historical narrative post-Krishnadevaraya. Set in 1565, the tale unfolds amid internal strife and external threats, with Ramaraya's loyalty to the empire shining through betrayal.

Hiliyana's meticulous research and vivid character portrayals bring forth a multifaceted protagonist in Ramaraya. The central conflict against the united Deccan Sultanates adds intensity, leading to the climactic Battle of Talikota.

Balancing historical accuracy with engaging storytelling, the author's evocative prose captivates readers. This standalone novel seamlessly provides context, making it a compelling must-read for historical fiction enthusiasts and Vijayanagara saga admirers.
