PostETHIOPIA. 1935. With the threat of Mussolini's army looming,
recently orphaned Hirut struggles to adapt to her new life as a
maid.Her new employer, Kidane, an officer in Emperor Haile
Selassie's army, rushes to mobilise his strongest men before the
Italians invade. Hirut and the other women long to do more than
care for the wounded and bury the dead. When Emperor Haile Selassie
goes into exile and Ethiopia quickly loses hope, it is Hirut who
offers a plan to maintain morale.She helps disguise a gentle
peasant as the emperor and soon becomes his guard, inspiring other
women to take up arms. But how could she have predicted her own
personal war, still to come, as a prisoner of one of Italy's most
vicious officers?The Shadow King is a gorgeously crafted and
unputdownable exploration of female power, and what it means to be
a woman at war.
