I'm looking for reviewers for my debut novel, Of Captivity & Kings. Inspired by the Kingdom of Kush, it captures a myriad of characters involved in ancient trade routes of luxury goods, the growing desert climate, religious persecution, and a rising slave trade in 4th Century Africa. Each chapter highlights a different character and a synopsis is below and a sample can be found on Amazon! Please reach out if this is something you think you would be interested in reviewing!
Synopsis: The laws are different in the Kushite ruled, southern Kingdom of Nabara. The penalty for involvement in the slave trade is death, and if the King fails to provide justice and order under ma'at, the High Priests can order him to commit suicide. When a Roman slave ship wrecks off the coast of Nabara, peace is shattered. Ancient caravan routes and nomadic hunters are threatened by kidnappings, robbery, and murder, forcing Nabaran High King Amkar Kashta to invoke the power of the six-kingdom alliance that is Nudolla. Each member of the ruling families finds themselves thrust into the rising slave trade and the corruption of everything and everyone it touches. It is an adventure told from the secret sanctuaries of the desert fathers in the Scetes desert and the massive pyramids of Meroë to the Skeleton Coast and towards the Great Barrier Mountains of Apedemak. Here, kings and queens, princes and princesses, slave traders and gladiators, high priests and slaves, scribes and warriors, caravan robbers, and hermits collide under the thread that links them all - Captivity and Kings.
