Set in 19th century Gold Coast, this historical novel follows two Ashanti boys, Kwame and Kwabena Boaten, as they navigate the challenges of education abroad under the mentorship of white men. Aspiring to return as a doctor and administrator to aid their people, they face racism and hostility from figures like Hardwick and Dupuis. Despite these obstacles, their resilience and determination shine through, as they hold onto their cultural identity and plan for eventual revenge. The narrative intricately explores themes of ambition, love, and the impact of colonialism.
