THE 13-YEAR-OLD QUEEN AND HER INHERITED DESTINY

Aashisha’s powerfully evocative narration mesmerizes the readers as they delve into the struggle of the Nagas against the British Raj’s horrendous and humiliating regulations at the start of the 20th century. The Rongmei Nagas of Kambiron are waiting desperately for a redeemer when young Dikanang is born with shamanic potential and spearheads the Heraka movement. As the spirit of independence takes root and the village seer predicts the arrival of a queen, Dikanang’s cousin, Dijeanliu, emerges as a strong fighter and healer who has an unusual way with animals, particularly the python. Under the leadership of the 13-year-old feisty Dijeanliu, the Nagas defy the British officials, protest against unfair taxes and spark a revolution for independence. Read the inspiring and miraculous tale of how Dijeanliu, after her brother’s execution, takes over the mantle of the freedom movement, fighting the British, spending fourteen years in prison, and earning the title of Rani, the queen.
