It is China in 1850, and fifteen-year-old Wang Lee is gathering what is left of his family's harvest, when he is suddenly ambushed and kidnapped by bandits. But even as his life has changed, it will change again - for he is set free by beautiful Mei Lin, a soldier and spy who belongs to a group of rebels fighting for the Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace. Soon Wang Lee is sergeant in the Heavenly Army, and Mei Lin a colonel - and they are forbidden to see each other. As the brutal years on the battlefield wear on, both of them wonder: what kind of peace begins with killing and denial of love?
Abducted from his home by bandits, fifteen-year-old Wang Lee is rescued from slavery by a mysterious girl who introduces him to the Taiping Tienkuo, a secret society partly based on Christian principles and dedicated to the overthrow of the Manchu government.

Rebels of the Heavenly Kingdom
An interesting, intense YA novel that focuses on how military life, religious indoctrination, and violence can change a person, for better and for worse. Unique in that its focus in on a little-remembered (in the West anyway) war in China with the protagonists speaking as cultural nobodies who are caught up in it and changed by it. The text is well written and engaging, the ultimate goals of the book unclear until the end. And, much to its credit, the book does not try to hammer home a single, definitive conclusion. Instead, the results are mixed, much like the process of the war the characters fight in.
