Together, Umslopogaas and Galazi fight for glory and honour and to avenge their wrongs. With their fabled weapons, an axe called Groan-Maker and the club Watcher of the Woods, the two men become legendary warriors. But even these two unstoppable heroes may finally have met their match when the Zulu king sends his army of slayers to destroy them Although he is more famous for his romances King Solomon's Mines and She, the unjustly neglected Nada the Lily is one of Haggard's finest achievements.
