The Prince of India is an ambitious historical novel that blends fiction with real historical events surrounding the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The story revolves around a mysterious figure, the 'Prince of India,' who is revealed to be the legendary Wandering Jew. The novel explores themes of faith, immortality, revenge, and power struggles between Christian and Islamic forces.
