Diamond of the Rebellion

A deposed princess turns revolutionary spy to steal back a powerful jewel in the fight for India’s independence, reclaiming her country’s stolen history through elemental magic.

Sofiya Rajeshwari Singh is done being a pawn of the British Empire. Behind the courtly smiles and gilded walls of her imperial cage, Punjab’s last princess burns to escape London and the reminders of all Queen Victoria has stolen from her family—their crown, their people, their freedom.

But on the eve of her arranged marriage, her fiancé, and the brooding and mysterious man guarding him, offer her a chance to change everything: join the rebellion.

Together they devise a scheme to steal back the Koh-i-Noor Diamond and return to India, but to succeed they’ll have to survive a dangerous web of political intrigue...and wield powers unlike anything Sofiya could have imagined.

Only, how much can she trust the rebel guard with the scorching gaze? As Sofiya is plunged into a war for freedom and her family’s secret history, she discovers the true significance of the Koh-i-Noor—a magical talisman, evoking elemental powers in Sofiya’s bloodline—and that nothing in her world is as it seems.
