"Igereka, the first story, centres around a powerful king and the inheritance of his kingdom -- an issue which in Africa is often embroiled in traditional beliefs and where the consultation of seers and prophets is not uncommon. The story opens with a prediction of an oracle which threatens the king's future through his inheritance.
