Shaka has fought his brother to the death for rulership of the Zulu. Now
king of the southern chiefdoms, Shaka seeks to uplift his people,
consolidate alliances, and expand the reach of his power. But challenges
both external and internal threaten his rule. A rogue military unit
exacts revenge on its enemies. Land-hungry Europeans arrive and
ingratiate themselves with Shaka, even while plotting their own path to
power. And closer to home, Shaka's own brothers conspire in secret.
