    About this ebook

    Young Thabo sleeps over in the Chief’s house on an errand for his father. Overnight he gropes the Chief’s extraordinarily beautiful daughter Nefrika. Obsessed with her, he returns to his father’s house convinced that Nefrika is his destiny.

    Five years later, they meet again as young adults. Thabo’s old passions resurface, except that this time Nefrika is on the market at the Wives Exchange and able men must fight other suitors to claim their desired bride. Thabo is considered weak by his tribesmen, and must now muster enough courage to fight an insanely fearsome suitor named Manpower who killed his opponent in a previous wiving fight. Thabo rejects the notion of renouncing Nefrika to avoid Manpower’s legendary ruthlessness. Determined to win the woman he thinks rightfully belongs to him, Thabo must learn the ageless laws of manhood and the forbidden secrets of the women’s Unclean Hut.
