520    "From the internationally bestselling author of Nefertiti 
       and Cleopatra's Daughter comes the breathtaking story of 
       Queen Lakshmi--India's Joan of Arc--who against all odds 
       defied the mighty British invasion to defend her beloved 
       kingdom.  When the British Empire sets its sights on India
       in the mid-nineteenth century, it expects a quick and easy
       conquest. India is fractured and divided into kingdoms, 
       each independent and wary of one another, seemingly no 
       match for the might of the English. But when they arrive 
       in the Kingdom of Jhansi, the British army is met with a 
       surprising challenge.  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. 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.  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. In the 
       tradition of her bestselling novel, Nefertiti, and through
       her strong, independent heroines fighting to make their 
       way in a male dominated world, Michelle Moran brings 
       nineteenth-century India to rich, vibrant life"--
