Description

New York born Emmanuel is hunted by two issues that will shape his life: his biracial heritage and a family curse if he refuses to retur to serve the people of their home kingdom of Umuati. We experience his journey from the moment he falls in love with Rebecca, a conservative Jewish heiress in Wall Street, with their seeming insurmountable battles to break free from religious, cultural and racial boundaries. Unperturbed, he takes on a major fight against environmental pollution arising from massive crude-oil spills in their West African Kingdom, leading to a thrilling adventure of love, betrayal, murder and discovery. This is a beautiful story that is set in contemporary times, embracing timeless themes and written in the tradition of modern African literature.
