| Summary | "A Noble Queen: A Romance of Indian History" by Meadows Taylor is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of ancient Indian politics and romance, centered around the figure of King Ibrahim II of Beejapoor, alongside the intertwined lives of characters such as Zóra, her grandfather Syud Luteef Shah Wallee, and the military leader Abbas Khan. The book explores themes of loyalty, justice, and the complexities of love as the characters navigate through triumphs and betrayals in a richly described historical setting. At the start of the novel, the triumphal entry of King Ibrahim II into Beejapoor marks the end of prolonged conflicts with rival states. The atmosphere is celebratory, as the people express their joy after years of turmoil, but this joy is soon set against historical injustices, particularly the plight of Zóra and her grandfather, who have suffered at the hands of the treacherous Osman Beg. As the narrative progresses, Zóra's complex emotions regarding her past and her connection with Abbas Khan become central to the plot, illustrating her strength and resilience. The opening establishes not only the historical context but also the personal stakes involved, setting the stage for a tale of redemption and royal intrigue.
