"We are our own villains."

Turmoil threatens the hard-won peace of Queen Almira's realm. As the jaded Captain Sanaa embarks on a rickety mission into the Free Isle, she must secure the fire weapon and find herself with a witch to stand against Furia's The New Alliance.

Thrown together with an unlikely band of companions, including the mysterious Kaia, the tender Quent, and the loyal Barnabus, Sanaa's journey becomes a race against time as they navigate carnivorous forests and evade the sadistic Kuimo. But amidst their quest, Sanaa finds herself drawn into the heart of a rebellion brewing in the Free Isle, where atrocities have ignited the flames of change. And her eyes wander to the prickly Kaia, who slowly softens towards the captain.

Meanwhile, Almira grapples with personal despair, pushing away loved ones as she seeks answers from shadowy sources. And Hira faces the daunting task of uniting her people against the divisive schemes of Furia.

With so much in the balance, it seems the three tasks appointed will never succeed.

Captain of the Rebels is the third volume in The Queen's Red Guard series, a story of the women of New Verden and their desperate struggle against all those who wish to disrupt the peace.

"Men should fear all women, yet they seldom did, much to their demise."
