Description
xStories Untold is a riveting story of love, intrigue, and triumph over insurmountable odds.
1809 West Africa: Crown prince Macati son of King Zaki of Kapora falls in love with princess Awat of Wagombe. As the young couple plan the most spectacular wedding ceremony ever, beautiful Nyoka, Zaki's second wife has other plans for them.
Weeks to the fabulous wedding ceremony, prince Macati, princess Awat and most of their wedding party are chained on separate slave ships bound for Brazil and USA. Never to become King and Queen of Kapora, but to spend the rest of their living years separated from those who love them and toiling for those who love them not.
King Zaki dies in a desperate attempt to save the young couple. With Zaki dead and his crown prince Macati enslaved in Brazil, Nyoka's son Ika becomes king, with his domineering mother as the real power behind the throne. Sometimes, pretty faces come with ugly hearts.
Anyone considered a threat to their power end up on slave ships bound for the Americas and Caribbean islands. That includes Macati's mother and his baby brother. The new King becomes the regional Pombeiros. A term Portuguese slave traders use to describe an African who sells other Africans into slavery.
Macati must escape slavery, reunite with Awat in Virginia USA, and return to regain his throne and save his people from tyranny.
Stories Untold by Enitan J Rotimi, a descendant of returnees maneuvers his characters around actual events of those who escaped slavery in Brazil, USA and Jamaica and returned to West Africa between 1816 and 1844. A time when Pombeiros targeted returnees for sale back into slavery because a returnee fetched more money on the auction block than a first generation African. The returnee already understands the language of the task master and the rules of the plantation while the freeborn African captive must first be broken then forced to learn the language of the new overlord
How they escaped slavery, returned to Africa, outmaneuvered the Pombeiros and rose to political and economic prominence in West Africa is one of many stories untold in history class.
