Kakanfo Ku'unbu hails from the western region of Oyo, and he's led its army to the Ethiopian plains. Under direct orders from the king, he must protect Princess Emina, the nation's cherished treasure. Ku'unbu remains ever vigilant. Foreboding spirits possess the adolescent princess and wars shake the foundations of the emerging city-state. With the help of a mythical creature and unexpected allies the warrior and princess combat their enemies and find deeper meanings of life and death.
