Overview

At the turn of the seventeenth century, a Muslim woman ruled an empire--Nur Jahan, whose name means "Light of the World." The most cherished wife of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, Nur wielded power and freedom like no Mughal woman before her, leading troops into battle atop an elephant, issuing coinage in her own name, hunting tigers, designing public buildings, enacting measures to support poor women and the disadvantaged, and astutely handling matters of the state.

In this entirely new middle grade remix of her lauded adult biography Empress, acclaimed historian Ruby Lal uncovers the rich life and world of Nur Jahan. Deeply researched and resonant--and gorgeously illustrated by Emmy Award-nominated artist Molly Crabapple--Tiger Slayer is an illuminating and empowering portrait of a woman who redefined what it meant to be female in the Mughal Empire.
