Romance With Death

A story that brings to focus the gory tales of abuse and misuse of power by kings in time past before the advent of white man in Africa.
A book full of paradox: how great wealth is created by the poor working class; how a slave boy becomes the king of a populous town after escaping a death trap; while a sick baby girl whom the gods say would not live later grows up to become a pretty lady whose beauty causes a senseless war between two kings.
