    About this ebook

    The African Queen prays to the gods for her first and only girl-child. She longs for a princess, a beautiful girl who will stay with her and never go off to battle. The gods grant her wish.

    Then tribal warfare threatens her village. The Queen flees. She gives birth shortly before she is captured and killed by slave traders. Nya, her newborn princess, continues without her.

    In chains, Nya journeys to the French Caribbean island of Saint-Domingue. She escapes slavery at sixteen years old and becomes the lead soldier of a small army. Nya relinquishes her crown as the last princess of Saint-Domingue to become the first daughter of Haiti.
