Birth of a Dynasty - GSFF Edition

About the book

Combining the political intrigue of SHE WHO BECAME THE SUN with the gorgeous world-building of CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE, BIRTH OF A DYNASTY is the start of a thrilling epic fantasy trilogy centered around three families’ fight for power in Ahkebulin, a land where magic is feared, giants are real, and prophecy holds sway.

We shall not forgive. We shall not forget. We will have our vengeance.

After witnessing the massacre of everyone he’s ever known and loved, M’Kuru Mukundi, the sole surviving member of the High Noble House Mukundi of Madada, vows revenge. He hides under the guise of farm boy Khalil Rausi… unaware that the real Khalil’s father is the bloodthirsty General of Zenzele army, and under the direction of the King’s scheming son, Prince Effiom, was responsible for the murder of M’kuru’s people. When an imposter claiming to be M’kuru shows up in the village, the real M’kuru – now Khalil – must 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 intrigue – she wants little more than to be a warrior. But a well-known prophecy places too much power on her small shoulders, and – as far as Prince Effiom and the King know – she is the only living threat to their dynasty. A threat that must be snuffed out…

Between scheming ladies at court, backstabbing princes on the prowl, and paranoid kings, M’kuru and Zikora must do what they can, no matter how terrible, to save their people and claim vengeance for their families. But they are just two young people against an entire kingdom – and a prophecy destined to thwart their dreams – and the last thing they can do is trust anyone…even each other.
