Synopsis

This historical novel on THE LADY KING Mwene NJINGA MBANDE of Matamba in Angola (West Africa) is my tribute, to an African Warrior in her final magnificence. A female leading a powerful army had not been heard of by the Portuguese. She was well-known for her lightning speed and surprise attacks and responsible for whole companies rebelling and deserting to her side bringing the enemy's superior weapons and ammo along with them.

She was instrumental in persuading some vassal rulers to revolt and unite with her cause in trying to prevent total destruction and takeover of their territory. And her coalition with the Dutch from 1641 to 1648 is believed to be the first African-European alliance against another European aggressor.
