The People of the Sky (The Amazulu Trilogy) - Tapa blanda

A TIME OF THREAT. 1828. The bulk of the Zulu army toils in the diseased swamps of Mozambique; the white men at Port Natal have begun disobeying King Shaka's laws; and enemy tribes are slowly infiltrating Zulu territory. Both king and kingdom are more vulnerable than ever. A TIME TO TRIUMPH. Only Shaka's bravest warrior and his trusted sidekick can turn the tide. The duo must solve mysteries, brave battles and shed blood - that of bandits, slavers, cannibals and plotting princes - if their magnificent kingdom and its ailing creator are to endure.

Born in 1966, Walton Golightly hails from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal - on the doorstep of what used to be the Zulu Kingdom. The People of the Sky is his third novel, and the final instalment in the Amazulu trilogy.
