MARK OF THE LOTUS
YA Fantasy
Threatened by assassination on the eve of her coronation, a sixteen-year-old princess, painfully aware of her diminutive stature, seeks favor with the Goddess of War; but when she fails to win use of the Goddess’s indomitable weapon, she must embrace her own strengths to save her realm and her life. If only the invading prince weren’t so irresistible and she could shake the eerie sense that they knew each other, rather well, in a previous life.

Brave women in Indian history and mythology often come to nasty ends, as did a national heroine, a warrior queen, who defied the invading British. MARK OF THE LOTUS is a purely fantastical re-imagination of history to afford that brave queen the victory she deserved…along with a romance capable of surviving reincarnation!
