"Sons of the Rebel" is a historical drama by C. Gaston Perera, set in 17th century Ceylon (Sri Lanka).

Against the backdrop of Portuguese colonization, the narrative explores themes of power, loyalty, betrayal, and resistance, featuring complex characters like Dona Catherina, the Portuguese Captain-General Constantine de Saa, and the Dutch Disave Migomuve Rala. This book provides a compelling look into the political and social turmoil of the era.
