Trading in Zululand in the 1850s, Allan Quatermain meets Mameena, a woman of dazzling beauty and boundless ambition, and the young warrior Saduko who would do anything to marry her. Their rivalries, stirred by the dwarf wizard Zikali, feed the struggle between King Panda’s sons Cetewayo and Umbelazi for the throne.
Haggard drew on real Zulu history and knew the country well, though his colonial outlook is that of 1913. Download the free EPUB.
