Rebel Queen: The Story of India's Warrior Queen Lakshmi
From internationally bestselling author Michelle Moran comes Rebel Queen, a gripping historical fiction novel that brings to life the extraordinary story of Queen Lakshmi of Jhansi—India's Joan of Arc. Set in mid-nineteenth century India during the British invasion, this novel illuminates a powerful chapter of history rarely explored in fiction.
A Story of Courage Against Empire
When the British Empire arrives in the Kingdom of Jhansi expecting an easy conquest, they encounter an unexpected adversary. Queen Lakshmi refuses to surrender her kingdom without a fight. Instead, she raises two unprecedented armies—one male and one female—and rides into battle herself to defend her beloved land and people against superior British weaponry and military training.
Told Through an Intimate Perspective
The narrative unfolds through the eyes of Sita, Queen Lakshmi's most trusted companion and soldier in the all-female army. This unique perspective offers readers an intimate look at the queen's determination, strategy, and the bonds formed between the women warriors who fought alongside her. The story captures the complexities of a fractured India divided into independent kingdoms, each wary of the other, yet united by the threat of colonial invasion.
From the Author of Nefertiti and Cleopatra's Daughter
Michelle Moran brings her signature style of historical storytelling to nineteenth-century India, creating a rich and vibrant portrait of a time and place often overlooked. Following the success of her bestselling novels Nefertiti and Cleopatra's Daughter, Moran continues her tradition of featuring strong, independent heroines navigating male-dominated worlds. Rebel Queen was inspired by Moran's own travels throughout India, adding authenticity and depth to the narrative.
Perfect for Readers Who Love
This biographical fiction appeals to readers interested in Asian history, colonial resistance, and stories of warrior women. The novel combines meticulous historical research with compelling storytelling, making it ideal for fans of biographical historical fiction and those seeking narratives about powerful female leaders who shaped history.
Rebel Queen has been translated into more than twenty languages and continues Michelle Moran's legacy as an internationally bestselling author of seven historical novels.
