The Pink Mutiny

One woman is fleeing a brutal marriage. One woman is carrying secrets that could help ignite a rebellion. In a city on the brink of war, trusting the wrong person could be fatal.

Lucknow, 1857. As the Sepoy uprising gathers force, Amelia Lawrence slips out of The Residency under cover of darkness, desperate to escape the husband who owns her name, her home, and her future. Disguised, alone, and hunted by fear, she believes the road beyond the British stronghold will lead her to freedom.

Then she meets Sehnaz—a celebrated courtesan with dangerous connections, a guarded past, and a mission she cannot afford to fail. Drawn together by chance and divided by suspicion, the two women must navigate soldiers, spies, hidden loyalties, and a country erupting around them.

From the guarded homes of British officers to the glittering kothas of Lucknow, from river ambushes to secret alliances, The Pink Mutiny is a sweeping dark historical novel of rebellion, survival, betrayal, and women who refuse to be owned.

For readers who love fierce heroines, morally complex history, high-stakes escape, and stories where private courage collides with political upheaval, this is a tale of two women caught between empire and freedom—and the choice that could save them both or destroy everything.
