The Lion of Umuna: The Legacy of the Nomads

The mighty, giant Lion of Dvei Illai could destroy a village with a single roar. Its connection to the village of Umuzah has been a secret for generations. The Lion of Umuna introduces the first west African super heroes. Ariel Rock-Igwe is the only son of Umuzah's chief, and he finds himself wrestling with the burden of one day assuming responsibility as leader of the village. Marrok, chief of the neighbour village wants war, and the more Ariel learns of the history of the two villages and of the magical chieftaincy staff, the more he fears for the future. Ariel faces the fi rst real test of his manhood and his credentials as a chief-to-be. Will his special legacy be unleashed? Will the evil Marrok discover weaknesses to defeat both Ariel and Ignatius and takeover his village? The Legacy of the Nomads is a magical adventure fantasy tale that draws upon the themes of family, loss, adulthood and destiny. It is the first in a series of three stories of the super hero Rock-Igwe bloodline that ends in the modern day, fusing exciting African and Hebrew mythology.
