When an imposter claiming to be M'kuru shows up in the village, the real M'kurunow Khalilmust bide his time amongst his enemies, pretending to be everything that he hates in order to get vengeance.

In another part of the country where giants roam free, young Zikora Nnamani, the only daughter of Lord Nnamani, knows nothing of political intrigueshe wants little more than to be a fierce Seh Llinga warrior. But a well-known prophecy places too much potential power on her small shoulders, andas far as Prince Effiom and the King knowshe is the only living threat to their dynasty ruling forever. However, when a messenger arrives to invite Zikora to stay at the palace, her family is not in a position to refuse.
