Magic. Mystery. Battles. A fearless king with a secret weakness.
Sumanguru: Sorcerer King of Sosso is an epic tale of magic, war, and rising against tyranny. Sumanguru Kanté is no ordinary king, he’s a ruthless warrior, a powerful sorcerer, and the feared ruler of the Sosso Empire. His iron mask strikes terror, his spells crush armies, and no one dares stand in his way. Until he sets his sights on Mali.
What begins as a conquest becomes a battle for the soul of a kingdom, as a once-exiled boy named Sunjata rises to challenge the sorcerer king. With the help of clever griots, fearless hunters, a sister with secrets, and ancient magic hidden in enchanted forests, Sunjata must uncover the one weakness that can bring Sumanguru to his knees.
This enthralling account from the 13th century is vividly told through the voices of griots, the legendary chroniclers of West African history and culture. It will transport young readers back to the past, to learn about the extraordinary exploits of these real-life historical characters.
