Told from the unexpected perspective of Sita-Queen Lakshmi's most favored companion and most trusted soldier in the all-female army-Rebel Queen shines a light on a time and place rarely explored in historical fiction. Although her soldiers may not appear at first to be formidable against superior British weaponry and training, Lakshmi refuses to back down from the empire determined to take away the land she loves. Instead of surrendering, Queen Lakshmi raises two armies-one male and one female-and rides into battle, determined to protect her country and her people.

But when they arrive in the Kingdom of Jhansi, the British army is met with a surprising challenge. India is fractured and divided into kingdoms, each independent and wary of one another, seemingly no match for the might of the English. Although a heroine in India, Queen Lakshmi of Jhansi is little-known to the rest of the world.
