Kings and Not Slaves - A story of hope Authored by Ola Osibodu Watch video trailer https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByviGG5qlNFkWTdZMkszbUE0WGs In this poignant and mythical historical novel, author Ola Osibodu sheds light on the atrocities of the transatlantic slave trade. While much ink has been spilled about the consequences of slavery, most books published have been by Western authors. Not many have told the story of slavery from an African perspective. Here, Osibodu merges American history with African culture to create a dense, compelling tale of destiny, rebellion, and courage. Set in the late 1700s, Kings and Not Slaves provides an Afrocentric perspective of the cruelties of plantation life. Osibodu’s hero is Prince Tsangu, African royalty, the heir presumptive to his father’s West African kingdom. But tribal conflict leads the prince to be captured by slavers and shipped to Suffolk, Virginia. Renamed King by his captors, Tsangu longs for home. Through his eyes, readers are given an intimate view of the horrors of slave life. Not only must King find a way to survive in unimaginable conditions, but he must also unravel the mystery of a curious prophecy that could spell out his doom. Steeped in African mythology, Kings and Not Slaves is an essential new read for students of history, folklore, and human rights. About the author: Ola Osibodu began writing while studying business information technology at London Southbank University. He moved to Lagos, Nigeria, in 2011 to pursue a career in software technology. In Lagos, Osibodu founded Parity Global Resources, a publishing company that provides a global platform to highlight African voices. He is also a life coach and enjoys helping others reach their goals. Kings and Not Slaves is his first novel.
