About this listen

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND INDIE NO. 1

The start of a thrilling epic fantasy trilogy centered around three families’ fight for power in Ahkebulin, a land where magic is feared, giants are real, and prophecy holds sway.

DRIVEN BY VENGEANCE

M’Kuru Mukundi, the sole surviving member of his house, will have his revenge, against the prince who slaughtered his people, and against the Zenzele dynasty itself. So, he bides his time among the enemy, hidden, waiting – until an imposter arrives, claiming his identity and his bloody inheritance…

DAMNED BY PROPHECY

Zikora, daughter of Lord Nnamani, cares not for court and its schemes. Instead, she dreams of being a warrior. But a famed prophecy has named her as the only living threat to the throne, and she must turn her blade to another task.

UNITED BY REVENGE

No matter the cost, M’kuru and Zikora will claim retribution for the people they have lost, if only to save those they have left, bringing ruin to a kingdom and birth to a dynasty…

Critic reviews

'Incredibly, Chinaza Bado's Birth of a Dynasty grows more gripping with each page, and its promise to follow two wronged nobled from separate houses to their bloody, prophecy-fueled and empire-ending revenge continually amps the book's towering stakes. Like being strapped into a rollercoaster, it's a heady feeling. The ride's begun, you're climbing inescapably higher, and though you've yet to hit the steepest drops, your heart's already hammering. Want to know what kind of read this is? It's the kind that'll have you desperate for book two.' Evan Winter, author of Rage of Dragons
