The Shadow King
ETHIOPIA. 1935. Her new employer, Kidane, an officer in Emperor Haile Selassie's army, rushes to mobilise his strongest men before the Italians invade. With the threat of Mussolini's army looming, recently orphaned Hirut struggles to adapt to her new life as a maid.
When Emperor Haile Selassie goes into exile and Ethiopia quickly loses hope, it is Hirut who offers a plan to maintain morale. Hirut and the other women long to do more than care for the wounded and bury the dead. She helps disguise a gentle peasant as the emperor and soon becomes his guard, inspiring other women to take up arms.
