The Demise of an Emperor

Set in 13th century West Africa, this audiobook chronicles the rise of Sundiata Keita, a tenacious warrior who embarks on a quest to reclaim his homeland from the oppressive rulers of the Ghana and Songhai empires. After years in exile, he builds a formidable army and successfully overthrows these tyrants, establishing the first Federation and the Keita Empire. Under the rule of Kankan Keita, the empire expands significantly, but challenges loom as Sundiata faces threats from within, including an envious brother driven by a lust for power.
