britishempire historical victorian war zulu zuluwar

An extract chapter from the book, The Kraals of Ulundi: A Novel of the Zulu Wars

“Shaba had washed the blade of his stabbing spear, his prized iklwa, many times already. It would be rinsed again today, with the blessings of his ancestor’s spirits, to herd the red soldiers finally from the land of the AmaZulu.”

1879 – the British army has suffered one of the worst defeats in its history at the hands of the Zulu King Cetshwayo. Now the British seek revenge and a second invasion of Zululand is about to take place.

Within the Zulu regiments charged with repelling the assault is Shaba kaNdabuko − driven by ambition to share the glory of battle, to bring honour and cattle to his family.

Meanwhile, new British soldiers are shipped out to replace those lost in the military disasters, and among them is Lieutenant Jahleel Carey, likewise also hoping that adventure will bring him a change of fortune.

But there are also always those on the sidelines of conflict, profiteers like renegade trader William McTeague.

All three will be brought together by one of the Zulu War’s strangest episodes, and their destinies will be changed forever.All Rights Reserved

Mob Bloodline by ThuliMakhubela

Note: This book is undergoing heavy editing and re-writing. Thank you She was soaked in blood from head to toe. Her clothes were sticky and the air was filled with the smell of death. Her guns lay on the pillow and her head was on her grandmothers shoulder. She kept on singing a lullaby to her grandmothers lifeless body. She has failed her, she had failed the only mission her uncle gave her before he passed. "Protect ugogo." That is all the he said before he passed. She had killed every single one of them but one bullet came through the window and it was over. Tears flowed freely from her eyes. She was alone in the world now and she didn't want to go on without her Gogo.
