Publisher's Synopsis
The King Who Was Never Known
Set in the early 19th century, João Albasini, the son of Spanish royalty, finds himself held captive by savages in the unchartered wilderness of Portuguese East Africa.
To survive, he must perform an abhorrent act that would astonish even his cannibalistic captors. But something mysterious is stirring inside that ultimately equips him to overcome his fear and endure the ordeal about to unfold.
Senhor Albasini's Secret is an historical romance about the human spirit surviving against all odds, and the grit and determination needed to just stay alive in the deep wilderness of pre-colonised South Africa.
Rubbing shoulders with historic greats like Karl Mauch, the German explorer and geographer who recorded the Zimbabwe Ruins, Paul Kruger, the President of the ZAR and many other influential figures of the time, the main character will captivate your heart and help you envision a different alternative to the South African saga.
Wait no longer and indulge yourself in this incredible tale of adventure, based on true historical events, guaranteed to make you sit on the edge of your seat as you feverishly turn each page.
