King Masigonde : Guardian of Chikoropola (Vol 1)

In the heart of the East African savannah lies Chikoropola, a village cradled by sacred mountains, healing rivers, and the unbroken traditions of its people. Its young king, Masigonde, carries the lion's strength and ancestral wisdom in equal measure-able to hear the earth's heartbeat and speak with wild creatures. But when darkness rises on the horizon, his reign faces its greatest test. Across the northern plains, General Guda-a fallen royal turned warlord-seeks the legendary Seed Stone, an artifact of immense power shattered into three shards.
With the first already reclaimed by Masigonde, the stage is set for a clash of magic, wills, and destiny. Bound by loyalty and guidance, Masigonde assembles a daring fellowship: Baruti, his fierce lion companion; Bibi Esuvath, the timeless sage whose wisdom bridges generations; Ntemu, the steadfast commander of the King's Guard; Nashipae, a herbalist and seer whose healing hands sense hidden wounds; And Lemai, a young standard-bearer whose heart carries both bravery and sacrifice.
Their journey unfolds through: The Forest of Wandering Echoes, where memory itself becomes a test; The River of Forgetting, where betrayal taints the water's flow; And the final ascent to Ol Doinyo Lang'ara, the Mountain That Mourns the Sky, where fire and fate collide.
