About the Book

Luanda, 1622. The Portuguese governor refuses to offer Princess Njinga a chair.

So she makes her own throne.

With a single gesture-commanding her attendant to kneel and serve as her seat-Njinga transforms a calculated insult into the opening move of a forty-year war against an empire. She has come to negotiate for her dying brother's kingdom. She will leave having learned that the Portuguese are already arming her enemies, that traitors nest within her own court, and that survival will demand she become something no tradition has prepared her for.

When her brother dies and rivals seize her throne, Njinga doesn't flee-she adapts. Taking the name Ana de Sousa from the baptism she accepted as strategy rather than surrender, she forges alliances with raiders her people once feared, wages guerrilla campaigns against colonial armies, and builds a new kingdom in the wilderness of Matamba. For four decades, she outmaneuvers governors, outlasts generals, and refuses the fate that history had written for her continent.

But every victory has its cost. Every alliance demands its price. And every choice she makes-to fight, to compromise, to sacrifice-takes her further from the woman she might have been, closer to the legend she never wanted to become.

Throne of Lions is the epic story of Africa's greatest warrior queen: a woman who understood that the river doesn't defeat the mountain by force, but by finding another way around. A ruler who spent her life telling herself that giving her people one more ordinary morning would have to be enough.

It was. It had always been enough.



About the Author :
Robert Walker spent thirty-five years in the sports betting industry in Las Vegas, a career that provided unexpected training for analyzing the British monarchy. He learned early that the favorite doesn't always win, but the house always survives. When not calculating the survival odds of historical dynasties, he writes about the intersection of high stakes and human folly. He lives in Las Vegas, where the kings are made of neon and usually last longer than the real ones.
