Set against the famed seven black coasts of Africa, Graveyard of an Anarchy is a story of banishment and reclamation in pre-Independence Africa. Banished from his homeland by the Oracle while still in his cradle, the Crown Prince of Oduah was not selected by men, but by the gods of his ancestors. Though sovereign by right of birth and ancestral succession, the Prince Ifash lacks experience on the Dark Continent-he had to be fished out from the British Empire to serve the gods that had rejected him at birth. But the shadow cast on him as baby has not been driven out, and Prince Ifash finds his rule and his life under attack. His only escape launches him into a romance that threatens to overwhelm his senses. Outside the throws of passion, however, a larger storm between the British and the French is looming. As these two empires struggle for control over the West Coast of the Atlantic, they threaten to engulf Ifash's kingdom and everything he holds dear.
