Publisher's Synopsis
For countless years, conflicts have ravaged the region, witnessing the rise and fall of rulers and
empires. Amidst this turbulent history, the kingdom of Obare, led by the esteemed Great Asaba, has
exerted its dominion through both warfare and sagacity. Stretching from the eastern Untameable
Grasslands to the western Abe-okuta Rainforest, and even conquering the seemingly impassable
Karajaan Desert to the north, the kingdom's reach has been expansive.
Yet, amidst these unfolding events, a young and inexperienced king, Xola, finds himself thrust into a
grave predicament that poses an existential threat to his people, the Uzians. Lacking any formal
training in warfare, Xola can only rely on the wisdom of the Uzi elders and the unwavering support and
encouragement of his mother. This arduous journey takes place against the backdrop of his
relationship with his beloved, Khanyishiwa.
On the surface, Xola and the Uzians appear hopelessly mismatched against the avaricious Dauntless
Emperor Agbaka, who ascended to the throne of Obare following the mysterious deaths of his father
and elder brothers. Agbaka, a seasoned warrior since his youth, boasts a tally of conquests that attests
to his martial prowess. In every conceivable way, the idyllic and tranquil life the Uzians have long
relished seems destined for an abrupt and untimely demise. However, all is not as it appears, for the
Uzians have remained unchallenged and undefeated throughout history's battles.
