Synopsis

Wealth unparalleled, greatness unmatched, and leadership untainted remain some of the indisputable attributes of the Great Ghana Empire, that vast realm that cast a shadow over all. It is said that whenever she sneezed, her contemporaries caught a cold. Notwithstanding these attributes, this empire came crashing down in the year 1240, with whatever remained of it incorporated into Sundiata's Mali Empire. Many reasons have been suggested for the fall of this great empire, but this fictional piece takes the narrative further into the events within and beyond the court of one of the prominent Ghanas (the name of the country as well as the title given to their leaders): the unheeded warning, the hasty decisions, the suspicions, and the unschooled heart and tongue.
