Book excerpt: The book Kingdoms in the Heart of Africa constitutes a thrilling tale of four fictitious prominent kingdoms that dominated the region called the heart of Africa. The four kingdoms: Mbantuu kingdom, Utanne kingdom, Shanaba kingdom and Manaka kingdom were in constant competition with each other. The book explores the power dynamics that dominated the relations between these kingdoms as they compete for the position of dominance in the region. Each of the kingdoms was headed by a powerful king except for the kingdom of Shanaba kingdom, which was headed by queen Edonge, who was considered to be the goddess of Africa. There was constant rivalry between the kingdoms as each sought to assert itself as the most powerful kingdom in the region. Due to this, suspicion prevailed amongst the kingdoms, resulting in secret plots and alliances forming between the different kingdoms. Despite the tension, division and conflict that beset the region, in these kingdoms, vast masses of minerals that had never been discovered before in other parts of the world were found. This attracted foreign interest in the region, whose sole quest was to conquer the region, an issue the kingdoms were oblivious to. The rise of these kingdoms propelled Africa to a place of prominence in the world.
