Summary
Inspired by actual events.
Betrayed and left for dead, a soldier in 13th-century East Africa winds up in hiding as a monk in Roha (Lalibela). He soon gets romantically entangled with a wealthy heiress as he struggles to maintain his monastic vows. However, when old enemies resurface and threaten those he has come to care for, he secretly picks up the sword again, offering salvation by day with the Bible, but secretly exacting deadly vengeance and justice by night with the sword.

Awesome Medieval Ethiopian historical fiction
As an African history enthusiast, I could see where the author took care and did in-depth research into Ethiopian cultures. The worldbuilding and description of the cultures, attire weaponry and architecture were making me remember my own finds and research. Along with the indepth worldbuilding, the story and characters are well written, I would love to see them adapted in some form, whether film or animation adaptation. I really look forward to reading more work like this from Anthony Nana Kwamu. It's time more ancient and medieval African historical fiction novels become more popular, and I'm sure Anthony's work will lead in this.
