About the Book

Queen Khorommbi’s life has been made so miserable by her husband’s abuse that she sees no other choice but to flee into the bush, hoping to make her way to freedom. Soon, though, she discovers that two of the king’s contract killers are in close pursuit. When they confront her at the edge of a cliff, both the queen and her pursuers fall to their deaths. In the afterlife, Queen Khorommbi meets her aunt, Nana, who introduces her to the queen’s late father, Mbodola, and a mysterious man named Dambura. Then Aunt Nana sends her back among the living. Queen Khorommbi finds herself in Damburas hut in a world that seems to have shifted. What she learns next about her past and about the way the world works will change everything about her future. In this novel, a queen fleeing an abusive marriage finds herself on a strange journey through a dream world that reveals truths about her life she had never known.
