Princess Lunja is a very beautiful young woman of the desert kingdom of Kalari. Her skin, white as snow, so much so that it hates the sunlight. In other words, the princess is an albino and among the Kalari tribe in Northern Africa, people like her are termed "Wajefa" (Cursed ones) and do not deserve to live. Her father removed this law when he was in power, but her elder brother, Gwafa is king now and he has no greater dream than to reinstate the "Wajefa law" and see his sister slaughtered. With the aid of her younger brother, Aksil, Lunja is removed from the kingdom and has to flee south to a land she doubts even exists. Her guide will be a traveler, a journeyman named Akhtoi. The princess must get to safety. This book is a wonderful story and also a celebration of the Nri hegemony in West Africa (a part of the Igbo tribe of the continent) for accepting wholeheartedly back then, what others feared so greatly. This story also calls to the problems albinos face in many parts of the world today. They are discriminated against and in some places, killed because they are different. These are old habits which we need to drop now!!!!!!!!!!
