"áOdáodâo's hometown of Timbuktu has been conquered by the warrior king of Yoráubâaland. Already shunned as social pariahs, living conditions for áOdáodâo and the other women in her blacksmith guild grow even worse under Yoráubâa rule. Then áOdáodâo is abducted. She is whisked across the Sahara to the capital city of Sáangâoteáe, where she is shocked to discover that her kidnapper is none other than the vagrant who had visited her guild just days prior. But now that he is swathed in riches rather than rags, áOdáodâo realizes he is not a vagrant at all; he is the warrior king, and he has chosen her to be his wife.” #73974
