"When the hope of a mighty kingdom rests on the shoulders of a noble warrior, a baby king and a great Amazon, the stage is set for an epic encounter between the vices of greed and ambition against the virtues of loyalty, courage and justice - on these lies the hope of a people."

The Queen's Gambit set in a spirited African kingdom, is a pure fiction but inspired by true exploits of one of the last empires that was finally conquered by the invading British colonialists - the Benin Empire.

This African classic epic vividly portrays the timeless conflicts between the forces of good and of evil when a man, overcome by blind ambition, allows greed to possess his will and in the process desecrates the land. But unknown to the people, beyond their borders, far across the great river and in a foreign land lies the only hope of the kingdom.

Like a fast-paced movie, this compelling story with its impressive characterization, the intensity of its plot and the action-packed suspense leading from one page to another in feverish excitement, is sure to hold one spell bound from the very first flip of the page. It is a promise!
