Both king and kingdom are more vulnerable than ever. A TIME TO TRIUMPH. Only Shaka's bravest warrior and his trusted sidekick can turn the tide.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

1828. King Shaka has survived an assassination attempt. Important trade routes have been secured. Yet all is far from calm in the Zulu Empire... The bulk of Shaka's army toils in the diseased swamps of Mozambique; the white men at Port Natal have begun disobeying his laws; and enemy tribes are slowly infiltrating Zulu territory. Both king and kingdom are more vulnerable than ever. With Shaka increasingly withdrawn, it falls to the Induna - his most loyal warrior - and his trusted young sidekick, to quell this disquiet. And thus begins their adventure... The duo must solve mysteries, brave battles and shed blood - and in the process face off against bandits, thieves, slaves, cannibals and plotting princes - if their magnificent kingdom and its ailing creator are to stand a chance of enduring.
