Guns of the Gods: A Story of Yasmini's Youth
1921
She is half Rajput, half Russian - a princess caught between empires. Yasmini moves through the courts of Rajputana with razor-sharp wit and an intolerance for fools, her mixed blood making her both outsider and insider in a world sliding toward revolution. When we meet her as a young woman, she already possesses the cunning to survive the deadly game of princely politics and British interference. Talbot Mundy crafts an adventure where a woman of two worlds uses her unique position to outmaneuver kings, colonial administrators, and would-be suitors alike. The narrative pulses with the exoticism and political tension that defined an era, appealing to readers who crave historical fiction infused with romance and dangerous intrigue.
