1740. In the African town of Oyo court intrigues run rife. The women bow down before their husbands and masters, and try to advance the cause of the children. The hunter and the warrior are honoured... but it is the eunuch and the remembrancer and the civil servants who hold the power. Life goes on. Weddings are glorious affairs of wealth and splendour. Children are born, are doted upon and fretted about, and ignore their elders and betters to seek out their own ways. Into this world is born Abiola. He is of royal blood... he is to be a warrior and maybe one day a chief... maybe even greater than that.
