More about the book
The narrative unfolds as a historical drama centered on a king's fierce resistance against colonial forces, paralleling figures like Chaka Zulu and Queen Nzinga. It explores themes of betrayal and ambition, particularly through the relationship between King Behanzin and his duplicitous brother Ghézo, who covets the throne and seeks to eliminate him. As French troops threaten Behanzin's reign, Ghézo's machinations lead to a tragic outcome, culminating in Behanzin's capture and eventual demise in exile, echoing the fates of other African leaders.
