Book pickup begins December 3 at the Youth Services Desk. A young lady can take only so many injuries before humiliation and insult forge a vow of revenge. R

Nineteen-year-old Sarah Bonetta Forbes (Sally), once a princess of the Egbado Clan, desires one thing above all else: revenge against the British Crown and its system of colonial “humanitarianism,” which stole her dignity and transformed her into royal property. From military men to political leaders, she’s vowed to ruin all who’ve had a hand in her afflictions. The top of her list? Her godmother, Britain’s mighty monarch, Queen Victoria herself.

Receive two hours of volunteer credit for reading and attending a book club.

R = Registration required.
