Imaro

Charles Saunders

Imaro is a one-of-a-kind heroic fantasy novel based on Africa's rich traditions and legends. This rousing adventure follows a young warrior named Imaro as he sets out to find acceptance and break the cycle of violence that haunts him. Author Charles Saunders expertly fuses fantasy fiction with pre-colonial Africa to create a unique narrative that addresses issues of alienation and tribal tensions. Imaro is no typical hero - he is a larger-than-life outcast on a search for a place to call home. This novel is perfect for fans of fantasy, history, and African culture.

IMARO is a two-fisted blood-and-metal book that reimagines parts of medieval Africa as regions of a sword-and-sorcery realm -- just BRILLIANT worldbuilding, including some of the best work in fantasy when it comes to making animals scary again      source
