    Description of Zulu Heart: A Novel of Slavery and Freedom in an Alternate America


    Set in the late 1800’s in an alternate universe in which Africa colonized the America’s, ZULU HEART continues the stories of two men from very different backgrounds. Kai is a politically important Ethiporan nobleman; Aidan, a white Irishman who was until recently Kai’s slave. But just as the promise of freedom has separated these two men’s fates, racial discourse is about to reunite them. A rebellion is building toward civil war. Loyalties are being drawn along the lines of homelands, namely Egypt and Ethiopia, and causing the New World to be torn into a North and a South-with Kai and Aidan caught in the crossfire.
