The story takes place around the first century BC: The king of Kush wishes to prearrange a marriage with his son to a beautiful black African princess, Ashaki, who lives in the African kingdom of Shaba. The proud princess Ashaki however has no desire to be queen over Kush, as can be seen in the following exchange between the princess and her father: “Kush is one of the most splendid and powerful countries in the world. It should be every girl’s dream to be a queen over such a wonderful land!” “But I am a princess now! Why do I need to go to Kush to be princess there?” “Ah, Ashaki,” sighed the king in an exasperated tone. “Even princesses have responsibilities. Our people count on us.” “I’ve already heard this part, father. I can not marry Machupa and that’s final! If he is so great, let a Kushite girl marry him!” ... Of course, the princess does agree to go to Kush with her friends to see once and for all what the country is like and to meet its heir prince… with an outcome unexpected by everyone. Experience the splendor of ancient black Africa and one of its most important ancient civilizations – Kush – in this fictionalized story meant to appeal to both children and adults alike.

Book excerpt: A stunning portrait of an African princess raised in Queen Victoria’s court and adapting to life in Victorian England—based on the real-life story of a recently rediscovered historical figure, Sarah Forbes Bonetta. With a brilliant mind and a fierce will to survive, Sarah Forbes Bonetta, a kidnapped African princess, is rescued from enslavement at seven years old and presented to Queen Victoria as a “gift.” To the Queen, the girl is an exotic trophy to be trotted out for the entertainment of the royal court and to showcase Victoria’s magnanimity. Sarah charms most of the people she meets, even those who would cast her aside. Her keen intelligence and her aptitude for languages and musical composition helps Sarah navigate the Victorian era as an outsider given insider privileges. But embedded in Sarah’s past is her destiny. Haunted by visions of destruction and decapitations, she desperately seeks a place, a home she will never run from, never fear, a refuge from nightmares and memories of death. From West Africa to Windsor Castle to Sierra Leone, to St. James's Palace, and the Lagos Colony, Sarah juggles the power and pitfalls of a royal upbringing as she battles racism and systematic oppression on her way to living a life worthy of a Yoruba princess. Based on the real life of Queen Victoria’s Black goddaughter, Sarah Forbes Bonetta’s story is a sweeping saga of an African princess in Victorian England and West Africa, as she searches for a home, family, love, and identity.
