Diamonds represent the greatest symbols of wealth. Many men covet those treasures, and many lives are lost in search of their riches.

The Koh-I-Noor is India’s oldest and most famous diamond. Mountain of Light traces history and legend surrounding the Koh-I-Noor through the court of Shah Baber, founder of the Mogul Empire during the sixteenth century, to its present location in the Tower of London.

The ancients called the Koh-I-Noor a gift from the Gods, a symbol than any ruler who has it in his possession will dominate the world. But it comes with a curse leading to grave misfortune.

The excitement generated by the Koh-I-Noor makes Mountain Of Light both powerful and informative reading.
