BAROTSE: THE RIVER NEVER FORGETS

In the heart of 19th-century The Aluyi Kingdom, the death of Litunga Mulambwa shakes the kingdom to its core. Princess Kandundu watches as her brothers vie for power, the Indunas whisper their plots, and the very river that sustains their people seems to shift under the weight of ambition. As the Makololo threaten to invade, Kandundu must navigate a world of spies, betrayal, and war, fighting not only for survival but for the soul of her people. Loyalties will be tested, lives lost, and a new generation born from impossible circumstances will carry the future of the Lozi. A sweeping tale of political intrigue, courage, and forbidden love, this novel traces the rise, fall, and resilience of a kingdom—and the women who dare to shape its destiny.
