Years after the fierce battles that defended the kingdom of Dahomey, General Nanisca faces a new threat: foreign powers seeking to exploit internal divisions and enslave her people. The political landscape has shifted, and enemies now use diplomacy, betrayal, and greed rather than brute force.

To protect her homeland and the next generation of warriors, Nanisca must train a new cadre of women warriors—each with their own doubts, strengths, and ambitions.
