Description
The prince was respected by all except his warring wives and his jealous
brother. Nyasanu Dosu Agausu Hwesu Gbokau Kesu, was son of Gbenu, a great chief.
Hwesu, himself, was governor of the province of Alladah in Dahomey, husband to
six wives, one of whom was daughter of the king. Hwesu was a young lion. He was
unconquerable in battles waged over a vast empire ravaged by tribal wars. But
his own brother betrayed Hwesu. And the governor of Alladah found himself in a
white man’s tall ship chained to other miserable black wretches on his way to a
strange land across the sea.
