In the aftermath of Palasera's fall and his father's murder, eleven-year-old Moses Ezenwa is thrust into a world of betrayal and bloodshed. To claim his birthright as the Lion Clan's Chieftain, he must outmatch his formidable brother Ramses, endure the cruel tribulation designed by the Shadow Lord Mercius, and evade the conspirators plotting his family's capture and execution. Surrounded by danger and haunted by fear, Moses faces a single, unforgiving choice: rise to his destiny-or fall as his father did. This is only the first few chapters of the novel.
