THE SONG OF DESTINY: SALAMANDER

By Isaac Ndolo Mbithi and Mr Isaac Ndolo Mbithi

How many times have you been trapped by a lie, and from the most unlikely and unpleasant event, the truth begins to unravel? From a now-extinct village across the Tsavo River in East Africa, the story of a native boy who desires to marry a native virgin girl as a precondition for accession to chieftaincy is told. But do not be fooled; it isn't just about an arranged marriage.Kamala's father mysteriously dies but the young man, a returnee from Britain, hardly anticipates what follows; a chain of events subtly reveals layers of secrets that if only his people could open their eyes to see, they would be redeemed from bondage for generations, most unusually. Yet, destiny offers redemption in the form of Anne, a British spy woman, who, in a bid to save her father's life, pledges her services to the Empire in the dawn of a new century. Kamala and Anne face fundamental cultural and social differences, a relentless enemy hell-bent on winning one last duel to change the World order eternally. What will happen if they lose?Ingrained in the plot, Isaac Mbithi vividly tells a story about a society deeply embedded in traditions and that is ultimately painfully trapped in events that happen miles away, finding itself roasting at the trough of a hegemonic contest among dominion stars. Through these events, sons and daughters of men are ensnared in an ideological game of poker and the only way out is a renaissance and perpetual pursuit for equity that can only be found if sought out zealously. The Song of Destiny is both historical and contemporary, told most creatively and powerfully.
