The son of a Zulu king teams up with a spectral wolf king to fight for honor and the woman he loves in this classic adventure tale by the author of She.
Nada the Lily tells the story of Umslopogaas, a fierce young Zulu warrior. He is the son of Chaka, the great Zulu king and general, and love of Nada the Lily, the most beautiful of the Zulu women.
When Chaka orders Umslopogaas’s death, the young man flees for his life, only to be carried away by a lion. He is saved by Galazi, king of an army of ghost-wolves. Together, they fight for glory and honor, armed with the fabled weapons, the axe Groan-maker and a club named Watcher of the Fords. But even with all the power they yield together, they may not be ready when Chaka sends an army out to slay them . . .H. Rider Haggard (1856–1925) was an English adventure novelist. Haggard studied law, but rather than pursuing a legal career took a secretarial position in what is now South Africa. His time there provided the inspiration for some of his most popular novels, including She (1887), an early classic of the lost world fantasy genre and one of the bestselling books of all time.
