Review:

This books is about a young princess who is in love with one of the gardener's sons. He is taken by a Portugese slave trader. She embarks on a mission to stop the enslavement of her people.

This books would be suitable for people who are interested in the history of the African hardships due to slavery as well as the struggles of people in other countries. The message shown in this story is that you can stand up for you beliefs even if the odds are zero to one.
