King Chinembira lies gravely ill, and his kingdom, whose fate is tied to the king’s health, is in the grips of serious drought and is threatened by uprisings. Mella has watched many healers try and fail to restore her father to health, and finally goes to the Rangarirai, a respected elder, to ask for help. Rangarirai teaches Mella how to summon the Great N’anga, a powerful magician and wise woman, who announces that someone must travel to the cave of the Great Python Healer, for only he can cure the king.
Mella, and her friends Revai and Shamiso, will have to learn the ways of the ancient Daughters of Hunt, and brave many challenges and fears, if they hope to save the king’s life and safeguard the kingdom.
Mella and the N’anga is a beautifully written tale of about wisdom and courage set in the long-ago time of the Great Zimbabwe.
