Description

A First of its Kind!

******************

In the shadowed lands of Arikana, where ancient gods clash with dark sorcery, a kingdom’s fate teeters on the edge…

When the Welsh—ruthless conquerors with a thirst for domination—march toward the Seven Kingdoms, whispers of a new power awaken.
In Akanga, a chief encounters a reaper, an ominous envoy of a sorceress from Kush, the kingdom ruled by King Harem.
Fearless yet desperate, Akanga’s realm faces a threat like never before. With his own throne at risk, Shifu commands his two sons to rescue his daughter and vanquish the sorceress—an act that could spell salvation or utter ruin.

In Son of Akanga, the first thrilling installment in the Arikana trilogy, the bonds of family, loyalty, and destiny are tested in a realm where gods and conquerors battle for supremacy.
For lovers of epic fantasy and African folklore, this tale of dark enchantments and shifting power is a journey into a world as lush and complex as the African continent itself. Will Shifu’s sons defy fate, or will they be forever ensnared in the sorceress’s web?

Embrace the magic, heed the call of the Seven Kingdoms, and witness the beginning of an unforgettable legend.

The perfect nine: the epic of Gikuyu and Mumbi by Ngugi wa Thiongo

, , ,
KShs2,000.00 KShs1,690.00
Brief Summary A dazzling, genre-defying novel in verse, from the author Delia Owens says “tackles the absurdities, injustices, and corruption of a continent” Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s novels and memoirs have received glowing praise from the likes of President Barack Obama, the New Yorker, the New York Times Book Review, The Guardian, and NPR; he has been a finalist for the Man International Booker Prize and is annually tipped to win the Nobel Prize for Literature; and his books have sold tens of thousands of copies around the world. In his first attempt at the epic form, Ngũgĩ tells the story of the founding of the Gĩkũyũ people of Kenya, from a strongly feminist perspective. A verse narrative, blending folklore, mythology, adventure, and allegory, The Perfect Nine chronicles the efforts the Gĩkũyũ founders make to find partners for their ten beautiful daughters—called “The Perfect Nine” —and the challenges they set for the 99 suitors who seek their hands in marriage. The epic has all the elements of adventure, with suspense, danger, humor, and sacrifice. Ngũgĩ’s epic is a quest for the beautiful as an ideal of living, as the motive force behind migrations of African peoples. He notes, “The epic came to me one night as a revelation of ideals of quest, courage, perseverance, unity, family; and the sense of the divine, in human struggles with nature and nurture.”

This spell-binding story takes the reader into the underworld of crime, and it depicts graphically the criminal's struggle for survival against the forces of law.

Petals of Blood by Ngugi Wa Thiongio

, , ,
KShs1,000.00 KShs850.00
The Mau Mau rebellion, as it is often called, which began in Kenya in the early 1950s, was a nationalist, anticolonial armed resistance against the British colonial state. The guerrilla movement called itself the Kenya Land Freedom Army; the British dubbed the movement “mau mau,” a meaningless name, to obscure the aims otherwise so clear in the resistance army’s name. Ngugi Wa Thiongío’s Petals of Blood examines, among other things, the betrayal by the postcolonial regime of the ideals of this anticolonial struggle that helped Kenya achieve its independence. The novel revolves around three men and a woman. The four friends reveal different aspects of their history to each other piecemeal, just as their families had guardedly explained the past to them. The lingering effects of the Mau Mau revolt have affected all their lives and by the end of the novel, each character is wrapped up in his or her own exclusive epiphany about life in Kenya. Abdullah, the trader, thinks he failed the movement because he did not avenge the death of a friend who was a revolutionary and who was betrayed. Munira, the schoolteacher and eventual wide-eyed prophet, is paralyzed by the shadow of his successful father, who condemned the Mau Mau but aided the crony corruption of independent Kenya. Wanja, the beauty from a broken home, learns that it was two generations of revolutionary fervor that distorted the home she grew up in. And Karega, Thiongío’s union-pushing hero, scrutinizes the history of Mau Mau as if it were a sacred text. Somewhere in that history, they all believe, is the key to wisdom and justice.
