Description: We are at the beginning of the sixteenth century, in Africa, in an imaginary country: the Mogambi. Shuka, a beautiful sacred dancer, likes the protective genius of her kingdom. A war broke out between Mogambi warriors and invaders from Europe. They are there for a specific purpose: a manhunt, to send slaves into the New World. After the fighting, a newcomer introduces himself. So who is this seductive visitor who arrives in the heavenly kingdom of Mogambi? What does he hide under his diplomatic mask? Will Shuka discover it or fall under her spell?--Translation of page 4 of cover by L'Harmattan.
